The Same

Lately I've been accidentally meeting people from my past. I'm not sure what it means. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe life tries to tell me something. And in this case I have to figure out what it is…

Several days ago I met one of my classmates whom I hadn't seen for a long time. I was actually waiting for a tram, reading my book when a woman figure approached me and said "Hello". It was so unexpected. At first I thought that the person was a charity worker or somebody from these kinds of organizations. But I was mistaken :)

When I looked up, I had seen a familiar face. To my amazement I instantly remembered her name. It was this type of conversation, when you repeat one question three times, just because you don't know what else to say ;)

While we were talking she said "You still look the same". This sentence really made me think. I always have this feeling that we all evolve. We all have our own journeys and we change a bit. I would never consider myself the same as almost ten years ago. I know how many things I went through, what my life was all about then and what it is now. But apparently she only saw the cover. And that's understandable because we've spoken for only few minutes. If she meant what she said as a compliment, then good for me bro' :) I look young and that counts :D

It made me think about masks that we wear almost every day. It made me think about how we behave on daily basis, influenced by others' opinions and thoughts. How many times do we contemplate what to do, just because we imagine what this or that person would think of us.

Screw it! It feels good to do what you really feel! And yes, sometimes it may be selfish. And yes, those other people may not like it coz you're simply out of your box and destroying their comfort zones. And regarding the conversation I mention above, we're not the same. Even yesterday we were different. And each day and each thought give us the chance to decide who we want to be and where we want to get.

Be who you want to be. Simple as that ;)
