Changes

Time waits for no man.
I took some time to fill up water in my kettle and grab a towel to shower. A minute passed by and then I though to myself:

In a minute I only did 2 things. Life passes by pretty fast.

And so it took me another minute to write down those few sentences.
Every week, day, hour, minute, second, macro, micro, mili, nano, piko and so on, time is passing and so too are changes occuring.

Law of nature is that nothing lasts forever and the only thing constant is change.

Right now, at this very point in time (second being basically irrelevant now that this arguement has already established its non-importance) we are changing.
Changed by the elements, by the people around us, by the situation around us that is beyond our control.

So what has changed to you after a particular timeline?

Have you become more mature?
How do you define mature?
Do you make better decisions now than you did back then?
Do you place more importance now on things that you used to not care so much about?
Are you taller? Shorter? Thinner? Inappropriate F word?

I don't know if I've changed. I have to rely on other people's opinions because I am biased about what I believe about myself.
I would like to think my principles in life are still the same. That I am a honest, good person with good intentions if not always the best methods to achieve those intentions. I believe I am capable of making mistakes and being able to spend my entire lifetime atoning for them looking for forgiveness.
I like to think of myself as being a survivor and having a working knowledge of human relationships and behaviours. I like to think of myself as being an impartial judge able to stay neutral and being able to put things into prespective.
I believe I am slightly racist but I do my best to not judge a whole group due to the doings of an individual. I believe I find the humour in everything, even though its not funny.
I know I care about myself a lot (its not such a bad thing).

I know from other people I tend to repeat myself a lot. That my words trail off at times. That I'm a nice guy. That I can be quite lame. That I need to make better decisions.
People think I'm smart (or do they?). They think I'm stupid at times too.

Changes come from within. People's perceptions change with your actions and time.
I don't know if I have changed. I would like to think for the better but unless someone comes up with a thesis regarding the life of Lyon Cheu, there isn't any qualitative, quantitative nor empirical evidence to prove so.
