Suddenly everything has changed

Inspired by a brilliant track by Postal Service, one of my favorite band.. I’m going to write about change.

Change, some say, is inevitable. I even heard somewhere that if there’s anything’s that certain in life, it is change.

I, of course, like any other people in the world, have gone through so many changes in life. In this 25 years of my life, there are countless of changes I’ve been through. Some major, some barely remembered.

Change of haircut, change of school, change of music preference, change of house, change of clothing style, change of interest.

Now change of interest, is interesting. Can one change one’s interest towards a particular thing? A particular someone? For example, can one declare that one self likes to run, then stop liking it months after?

I think one can. Well, I can.

As far as I can remember, I have had interest towards so many things. Some stay until present, some I lost interest in. However, there are similarities of all those interest. I used to love collecting stamps. Now I love collecting postcards. Why I ditched collecting stamps? Because I think postcards (hand – written ones, sent through mail) have more value, have more stories behind it. I love the warm feeling every time I received a hand written postcard.

So my conclusion is… we ditch our old interest for something more interesting, something better. And that, I think, can apply to relationship as well.

See boy meets girl, have interest towards her, ask her out, went on few dates, then just leave. Why? There is nothing wrong with the girl, the girl is still plain awesome. It’s just the boy might have met another girl, a more interesting one. And the cycle will keep go on, until boy meets the one. Same goes for the girl, of course :)

Now the big question is.. should we keep ditching our old interest towards the new one, or do we , at one point, need to just accept what we have right now, and start to settle?
