Change.

I recently read somewhere that people who say they haven't changed since they were 15 or 16 and were over 20 now, never lived life. That they cling so much onto the things that seem to give comfort that they stop living. Maybe its true. It got me thinking. I have changed. I've grown as a person. I realized that I'm more open to things than I was when I was 16. Although it was just five years ago, I guess, people change. Sooner or later. People learn to let go of old beliefs and try out new things. You learn to shake off the old skin. You evolve.  Sometimes, these lead to heart breaks, but most of the time, it leads to acceptance. Acceptance of yourself. Because, at the end of the day, you have only your consciousness to deal with.
