Sometimes we fall in love (whether it be platonic or romantic) with people’s past selves. And we hold on to those memories and old personalities that they’ve grown out of in hopes that they’ll return to their past ways. But most of the time, they don’t. And that’s just how life goes. Because, really, it’s cruel for us to keep a person from growing, even if it’s not in the direction we want them to go.
