They Always Get Better

One of the hardest parts about life is when the people you love change. It sucks. Easiest way to put it. And the worst part is, you don't notice the change while it's happening, you don't see that person transform before your eyes. It's just suddenly one day, you look at them, and you think to yourself, "Who are you?" And the person you loved, the person you could rely on for anything, the person who you could call at 3 in the morning, the person who understood you when no one else did, isn't that person anymore. And then you have to decide what you're going to do about it. Are you gonna tell that person how you feel? That you think they've changed? That they aren't the person they were before? Or are you just gonna let them be? Try and pretend like nothing has changed between you two? What will hurt more?

Sometimes, someone changes so much, you just have to cut them out of your life, and this hurts more than anything. Simply put: it sucks. Someone becomes a drain and a stressor instead of being the one to help take your stress away. They make every day rain instead of making the sun shine. They aren't there for you when you need them most - they just aren't the same person anymore. And you have to make a decision. It hurts more than anything to have to cut someone out, but you know it's for the best. It will make life harder in the beginning, but things will get better. They always get better.
