You say she has changed; perhaps she has.

Not by choice, but compelled by life’s unyielding force.

Believe me, she longs for the carefree, wild girl she once was.

Sadly, that girl has vanished, with no sign of ever returning.

The memory of what she once was, is the sole thing left behind.

Suddenly, she found herself in a boxing ring, fighting against life’s adversities, with no one in her corner.

Each jab, punch, and hook received caused the light in her eyes to shift from vivid to dull, snatching any trace of innocence that once adorned her carefree soul.

Ignore by those around her, she must dig deep within to find the strength to persevere.

To triumph, she had to defend herself, relying solely on her own wits, realizing trust was a scarce commodity.

To survive, let alone win, savage-like behavior became essential, shattering the image of the nice and obedient girl she was once known as.

So, don’t accuse her of having changed because she can no longer be the girl you want her to be.

Change is inevitable! As we age, the way we view certain things also changes due to the experiences we encounter. Those experiences open our eyes to a vague reality, altering our perspective. It’s as if a blindfold has been lifted, enabling us to observe clearly the true nature of things. No longer blinded, our behavior is adjusted to accommodate the newly discovered realizations. It’s not that we wanted to change; in fact, we can no longer see things through the same opaque lenses as we once had.
