One of the most painful things. Something you can't ever stop. It happens with or without your consent. You get used to something and it changes. Friends move, people change, trends die, and most of all YOU change. Someone once told me "Every seven years you change. You shed your skin and become a whole new person." That means change is coming again whether you like it or not. It can be for better or for worse.
Dwelling on the past only makes it harder when the change happens. I could really learn to take my own advice. You can't dwell on what's happened. If you sit there wishing it never ended you won't enjoy life. Yes, it may have been the most amazing thing to ever happen to you but it changed for a reason. Someone who used to be my closest friend once said "Everything happens for a reason. For better, everything happens for a reason. It will always be horrible before it gets better." I would always sit there asking why it happened. If things are changing for the better then why does it hurt so much?
I learned. Everything happens for a reason. Yes, it sucks that something amazing ended but it lights a new path. I made the choice to hang out with only 8th graders last year and now that they are gone to high school I have had to make now friends. That was the most amazing year and when it ended I was sad. I did not like the change but it happened. I still don't like it but I can see them next year. While yes they will have changed I have to sit and think, Why did they change? How does this make thing better? I may not figure it out then and there but all will be revealed in time.
It all comes down to faith. You have to have the faith that things will work. People may judge you but they judge you for a reason. There is always going to be the people who criticize you but it is for a reason. You will change. You don't change to fit their standards. You NEVER change just to fit in. You will lose sight of who you really are. People will love you for you. If you pretend to be something you are not no one will ever know the real you. Changing is a natural thing. Some may learn to start caring for things and some may learn what they did wrong in the past and how to fix it. When you change you change for the greater good.
Take it from me. I just lived it. No, I am living it. I am like you, the question now is just How will you accept change?
