Comparing the past to the present, things really make you wonder. One thing that saddens me is how much someone has changed so much that the the past person is a whole different person than the one that stands today. Yes, people change, but do they turn a 180 where their personality is total opposite of what they used to be?

For example, I knew this person who was quiet, timid and such a sweet person that you just wanted to hug them and be near them. The person would help anyone who came to them, and put their needs first. But things happened where this sweet person started changing, anger grew inside and became a person who would tell lies to bash others if they angered this person. The person is now rude, acts like a bully due to jealousy, and insecurity. How can someone be so sweet turn into a bully? It's mind blowing and sad that the friend I once respected and cared for, is now a bully who cares less about losing all the friends he/she had due to his/her throwing them away.

Why do people change for the worse? Why are they faced with denial of the truth? I don't understand why people get joy out of hurting others, and thinking being rude is strength. If you don't face your inner darkness then you won't defeat it, and it will control you if you let it. I do miss my old friend, but let the memory rest in peace because the person now is not the friend i used to know, and i don't want nothing to do with bullies who harms others.
