Changes

Over the years, I really do believe that people change (albeit through various degrees).

Recently I decided to see if I could find a bunch of my old High School friends. These are people who have a view of me that dates to close to a decade ago (ZOMG I feel old saying that). I have never had any contact with them what-so-ever during my college days as well as my brief working stint (*sob*).

Good thing with the advances of the internet, I have been able to track down a few of them on Facebook. Surprisingly, they have also seemingly recognized me in my current 'prosperous' self.

But what about characterwise? I know I am definitely not the same person that I was back then. Some people go through their crazy period in college. Let's just say I had a head start in High School. ;)

Writing about this suddenly reminds me of my cousin. They chose to buy me a gift and it was a neat little pocketwatch that had a demonic face on it. My mom accepted it from them smiling (they were saying that I would totally love it) as she knew that I am a LOT more doclie currently. LOL! Ghosts of my past self I guess.

I would dare say that my friends from my first college would see me differently (as would I - I suppose). I have err 'matured' nicely (well at least I would like to think so!) even since then. Character development is something I really take heavily on (for self betterment that is).

But what would people who haven't seen me since think of me now? I have always been fixated on the 'current' state things and never really dwell on the past (so looking up old high schoolmates kinda breaks that cycle - that or I'm doing things that old people do). High School friends probably remember me as a fun loving (but a nice one - I was never a troublemaker) slacker. College friends from my first college probably remember me as a fun loving person who loved bball and an ex. Friends from my second college probably remember me as a super quiet *cough* hardworking but fun loving hermit. My friends right now probably think of me as a *cough* hardworking, fun loving, dependable hermit. Anyone see a pattern there?

I guess while things do change, somethings stay the same. :)
