Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis. Its not only a biological change from a caterpiller to the pupa and from the pupa to the adult butterfly; but its also described as any complete change in appearance, character, or circumstance.

Due to recent circumstances in my life I realized how inevitable change is, and that's fine, it's when people change for the worst that makes me question the person and the friendship we held so dear. Close friends that have helped me through heartbreak, or a tough class in high school, or even the constant drama that lingers in every teenager's life are no longer in my life.

As the world changes around us I find it hard to adjust and continue relationships that I've maintained from preschool all the way through high school. With the ever changing world and the different environments we choose to immerse ourselves into its difficult adjusting. It's difficult to be that person you once were in high school, while at the same time trying to grow up and discover new things about yourself that you never knew.

I wish circumstances were different, but as we grow up and learn to discover ourselfs in a world outside of high school and enroll into college that sets us up in taking our first steps into becoming adults, we change. It's sad that people change, and not for the better, some choose to drift away from the ones they once considered close allies. The ones you had secret handshakes with or had inside jokes that no one knew about; their absence lingers when you think about your life now. They aren't in it. So I leave you with this, is it necessarily a bad thing?
