Of Changing Toys

Change has always been my most uncomfortable companion. To me it seems as if everytime's change comes around the corner, pandora's box opens up and swallows the universe whole... leaving nothing else but a few radioactive cockroaches and a new must-adjust-to environment in its wake.

No, i am not afraid of change... averse, maybe... but in the long run, i learn to deal. I have to, otherwise, i would never survive.. nor would i stand in this plateau of betterness i am currently residing in.

It's just that sometimes, i fail to understand it when change comes along, packaged to the likeness of a new toy complete with shiny exteriors, we act like children ever so ready to ditch our old playthings in exchange for the new item. Yeah sure, new toys are good. But are the old ones really all that bad to just so foolishly throw away?

It's sad really... We play with the new editions in our lives and forget the old, rickety but trusty, features we actually need. We think we're better off forgetting our past, but how will we ever be able to complete who we are if we do?

This enrty is actually a pseudodiscreet message to a friend. You see, she's found some new things to play with... and somewhere along the way, she's forgotten how to look back. She's forgotten that somewhere around the orbit of her earth, she's got these old trusty friends who would never dare to miss a moment in her life. She's so excited about the new things in her life, th only thing she doesn't know is that behind the lines, she's got a group of hilariously wonderful people cheering her on... and even though they're being ignored at the moment, they're not minding it one single bit. Because they know that they love her, and if she should ever get tired of that fast-paced life she's made, they're just around... read to hold her down when she needs to be held. There is just one prayer these friends of hers share...

The prayer that no matter how busy, or preoccupied, or hectic her modern times can be... she would still find the time to, one day, look back to where they are and smile that smile of love and appreciation. Because God knows, it's all they want and need.
