Why Change?

        We all do this everyday.  It can be small, or it can be big. What is it that we all do, is change. This is a natural thing, and that change isn't changeable. We all have to be changed at one point or another.  It can be by an experience or someone else opinion.

        We change, and its not a secret.  I have seen some of my friends who never could see anything or care about things that happens as long as it isn't them.  They are now very observant and actually care.  I have also had friends drift away because I wasn't able to "conform" to what they want.  I don't understand how that change happens in less than a month or how they seem to lose so much interest that fast.

         The nature of change is simple.  We seem to just find something and latch on and it makes us different.  I have a couple friends who were country kids and we had a pact to be the greatest farmers and seed producers in all of Nebraska.  They both now feel that they are "called" to be a teacher and a senator about a week ago.  I wish things were the way they've always been.  I miss the careless fearless kids we were.  The time to forget this will come and that will be my change.
