On the Variables of Change

Dear you,

"The more things change, the more they stay the same."

They say people never change, that they are what they are but what's inside just hides somewhere really, really deep, so they can convince themselves that they are 'different people now' and be able to live with themselves. In reality, I do not know if people can entirely change or not. Part of me believes it because, six years ago, I was someone else, someone naive, superficial, and dreamy. The other part believes that that self is still hiding there somewhere and comes back every once in a while. It is hard to decide whether one can truly and completely change into someone else; and I believe we will never know this for sure.

Because, do things really die within us and without us? Do we choose to be someone spontaneously or with planned acts and hard work? Do we really hate who we used to be or actually know what we even used to be? It is so hard to tell.

Yours faithfully and sincerely,
N.
