"Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn."

One thing about this world that is troublesome, and sometimes goes unnoticed, is that everything and everyone you know is or will be, someday, lost to change. Things happen and people change before your eyes, and most of the time others seem to overlook it until something different stands before them. Some believe that change is for the better. Some believe that change is for the worst. I'm not quite sure where my stance is on the matter, but sometimes, you'd rather have everything stay the same, at least for a little bit longer. It's hard to grow up and leave behind all the things you've ever known. It's hard when a loved one passes and every aspect of life is different. It's hard when friends leave and when you never get to say goodbye. Change is never easy to deal with. Change is always hard. I've known a lot of people that have been trapped inside the grasp of change's hands, and have never escaped. It's very strange to see someone you once knew so well walk by you as if they've never known you at all. But, the thing is, change happens. Sometimes there is nothing you can do but to somehow find a way past it. Sometimes you'd rather just go back to the world you'd once known where everything was how it used to be, and nothing ever changed; No one ever changed. Sometimes you wish change wouldn't take away the ones that you love.
But sometimes, all you can do is watch the leaves turn color, as the people you once knew turn color, too.
