I looked up to tell him what I had discovered on my plate to find him gone. He was not in his chair but next to me, on his knee asking me to marry him. I said, "yes, and we both agreed that it would not happen to we finished school-. We spent the remainder of the evening, until the sun began to peek through the window. We talked about our future and reminisced on our past, which we had and planned on spending together, promising that we would always be together. The last conversation that we had was about "CHANGE-. Change occurs in many different forms and is carried out in many different ways. However, just recently, I have come to the realization that change can be the deepest of all subjects. It can just happen overnight when your brain determines it's time to do something different. AJ was going through a lot of different situations in his life. When we last spoke, he said, "I'm so tired of my parents and the people around me not accepting that I am changing-. I explained to him that sometimes our parents don't know how to let go and let their children grow up. .
His family has always been the type, which thought if you didn't do it their way, then it's wrong. They were not good at accepting change. People who we are close to reject change the most; they feel that this change is going to affect them. They fight the change until they force the person to change. It's sad how this works, but in reality, it's probably the only reason why people change. The people we love love us so much that they want us to remain the way we are forever. Forever is a long time and not one person can always stay the same. Sometimes if the people we love would just accept the change and go with it, they would understand where the change was coming from.
Ever since I have known AJ, he has always wanted to do things differently. He tried to incorporate what his parents thought into everything he did. Where eventually he felt he was not living up to their standards.
