Today as I went about my day, I heard people arguing about the superficialities of life. Clothes. Dating. Television shows. But as I was just about to drown out all the distracting noise, someone near me sighed and said, "Do people ever really change? "
Now, this made me stop in my tracks. I began to think about this question as I went about my day, but the closest answer I could think of actually came to me within seconds after she asked it.

Maybe people don't change, but they just choose to embrace who they truly always have been on the inside. Maybe they decide that today is the day to let their rawness-their realness-find its place in the world.

People tend to want to hide true feelings and emotions because they can get scared of rejection, sadness, and hurt. We all do it. But maybe instead of "changing," we should realize that we have always been uniquely wonderful and that we don't need to change, we just have to learn to embrace and love ourselves for who we are deep down...
