A better understanding of change.

This is something that really only comes with experience and time. The longer you live the more you see change and as long as you have any sort of memory you will being to really recognize how different things can become. I have had it emphasized recently as I have hung out with people I have known since my early teenage years. People, places, passions... they can all seem disconnected they have changed so much. Luckily there always remains some threads of continuity and consistency. We all, despite how different we are now, have a core that truly doesn't change... even if only as it connects us from our past to our present.
