The Illusion

,

I think you’re stuck somewhere between the past and the present, between imagination and reality. Maybe you’re stuck in that song, or at that familiar street corner, or in the flavour of that old ice cream.

But I want to remind you of something you probably already know: people change over time, and so do their choices. Maybe they no longer like what they used to love. Maybe they don’t do the things they once did. Maybe they’re not the person you remember anymore.

So, whatever you’re seeing through those blurry eyes might just be an illusion. And when your vision clears, that illusion will disappear like it was never really there at all.

  1. So true 💯
    Almost every people change over time… I think time is very precious thing so they don’t want to share their time anymore 🙂
    BTW well written 👏👍

  2. I experienced how people change over the time.
    Maybe for a good reason or for a bad reason.
    But change eventually happens.
    Change is inevitable.
    And you expressed so beautifully.
    Let us not feel happy or grumble when the change happens.
    Let us not even complain that people change, because we too are part of that change.
    Thank you for this thought provoking post.

  3. Yes! We are often stuck in our old mindsets and beliefs that we fail to truly give the other the chance to show us that they’ve changed, bettered themselves and become different people.
