I don't know what sprung on the thought of change, or why I've spent the day thinking about it, but these are my thoughts...
I think the best changes are the ones made without asking, the ones where someone wants to change for you to prove your worth it enough for them to try, even when you wouldn't expect them to... but sometimes ppl aren't ready to make these changes and never will, and it's hard to accept it for what it is, but it also is a blessing in disguise because you should now be able to recognize you deserve better.
In example, they always say "once a cheater always a cheater"... do you believe this? Or do you believe even the cheater can change for the "right one"?
I would never ask someone to change for me, I either have to accept them for who they are or move on and realize what they have to offer isn't everything I'm looking for...
I don't think everyone's perfect, but it's nice when you care so much for someone you are willing to accept them for all their flaws. What is even nicer, is when they know you don't expect them to change, but do it anyways, for you, to make you happy.
I do think it's hard for people to change in certain aspects of their life because there are some things about a person you would almost expect to be set in stone. I think deep down someone's core, their traits, their personality, their mannerisms, their values, those probably don't change... doesn't mean it can't be attempted... in the end, the change is up to them but you would hope that everyone has to move forward in life in one way or another.
All in all, I don't think change should be forced upon someone. Change is something one has to own.
Thoughts?
