Somebody I used to know.

Somebody I used to know.

The super kind and super nice person I used to know has changed.

I am sad and disappointed in the person I once knew… People change and sometimes it’s for the better. Sometimes they just change…

Occasionally, stop and assess yourself and see how you may have changed.

People change that’s a fact.

What’s interesting is how people change. A new job and new people can change an individual. This is bothersome to me because somebody I used to know has changed in that exact way. A loving, kind, caring, compassionate, and understanding person has turned rude, and cold-hearted.

I saw the changes months ago. They will not admit it, however, they have evolved into a different person. They slowly moved from a kind person to a less kind, less attentive, and less nice a person. The little things mattered less and less; the stress of the new job took over.

Their relationships flounder and fail… Because of their career.

The person I used to know is a mere memory and a ghost of the past. The new career has changed the once super nice and kind person.

I am disappointed and a bit angry that I couldn’t stop the change because I noticed it too late. However, when somebody changes there is often nothing one can do.

We try.

As much as we try, we can and will be an asshole at times. We can be jerks and come across as rude and obnoxious.

We are not rude or obnoxious… we are kind and caring but we can get caught in a moment of newfound success, disappointment, anger, and frustration.

This can happen to the kindest of people and even with the best of intentions, we can all be rude sometimes.   Those are moments of weakness and moments or seconds of anger. A sudden and sometimes temporary changes in a person’s personality can happen. They do not see the forest for the trees. They cannot see the changes.

One cannot see the grass grow or see the way paint dries.

These changes can be hurtful and in the long term can be devastating to families and individuals. Occasionally, stop and assess yourself and see how you may have changed. Ask others if you are in doubt and take time out to see the life you are leading. Life is not about money; it is about experiences…
