So. What are you?
People change all the time. Don't they? One minute they're this, and the next, they're that.
Change is pretty much inevitable.
All the things that they said they wouldn't be, they became.
And when you're part of their lives, and if you care enough. Just enough.
You'll be part of that change.
Huh? You? Why you?
What does a fish do when it gets caught and put into a tank? It gives up its freedom and adapts to that small tank. What does a dog do if you abandon it? It becomes a stray, it hunts for its own food. It adapts.
And the same goes for some of us. All because that person matters so much to us. We adapt. We're wiling to accept that change and move on with our lives.
But some of them, they don't. They'd rather die. They'd rather not adapt.
That fish you caught from the pond? The next morning, you'd find it floating upside down on the surface of the water. Or in another case, a dead dog by the streets, that had long lost its ability to hunt, and had died of starvation.
Would you consider that as a smart choice?
Well.
It really does depends, doesn't it?
I'm not saying that we're gonna die. What I'm trying to put across is, are you willing to change yourself, and your beliefs, for that one person?
Would such a thing be against your principals? And if it is, are you still going to put yourself through that change?
In return, you might still keep that important person in your life, whether they're your friends, or your parents, or your partner. You might still be happy, you might grow tolerant, or you might, very well lose yourself.
But what is important to you?
Which one weighs more?
For that, I'd leave it to you to answer.
Love,
Natalie Ishot
