Why do People Change?

   As people move on with life, they change. And not always in a positive way. They meet new people and in order to adjust with them, they try to be one of them. This is what changes them. Is it actually possible for a person to change? To forget who they were and move on to become a completely different person? I've seen people change in love; I've seen people change for love. Their preferences change, their priorities change. Some realize their mistakes and change to correct them. People shatter our trust and then apologize. Claiming that they have changed. Our friends change and we grow apart. It is surprising how someone you used to be so close to, can't even find the time or the need to reach you once in a month or so. The question is, Do people actually change or it's just that we get to see their actual colours after a span of time?

   The reason why relationships or friendships don't last today? People change. They change their priorities. They change their attitude. Because people, in the process of adapting themselves to the new people around them, forget who they were and what they used to be. They tend to forget that this change, it not only affects them but those around them too. It affects the people close to them, and not always in a good way. And why do people exactly change?
   Maybe because they are too bored with their former selves and are looking for something new, not realizing that there are people who love them the way they are. People change when they shift their focus in life, to more important things. A change in priorities. And mostly, people change for attention, people change because they aren't confident about themselves. They want to be someone else, someone who is way better than them, even if it means giving up on their original self. 

Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.
