Prompt II: Seasons change and people do too

Humans are prone to change. Physical and mental change is inevitable because as we evolve we leave people behind while keeping a few friends close. Change is not only subjected to the physical such as growing as we age older but mental what you believe as right or wrong can alter as we grow in maturity. What you believe and what you perceive can depend on the environment in which you reside. A relative of mine is a prime example of how people naturally evolve to become the man or women they are today. What I thought of him before in comparison to what I think of him now is completely mind blowing.

My cousin was the most humble and sweetest guy growing up. He always loved and cared about everyone even if you did not love or like him in return. I always thought to myself that when I get to his age I want to be just like him I mean he knew The Lord, he was humble, caring, and which ended up to be his downfall very handsome. At that time I just loved him because he was the one who always looked out for me and cared a great amount for me. He always took me to get ice cream when school was released he was in the eighth grade while I was in the sixth so he was always the guy who looked out for me and genuinely love my company. Although he was handsome he was not self absorbed meaning he didn't care about brand names or how his hair looked he could walk proudly no matter what he looked like, this was another aspect of him in which I could only wish to have. He was a superman he was what only people could wish to be. His life at home was not the best the place he lived was full of temptations and it took a strong person to withstand such hard tribulations, but he was my super man so he could do anything. My mom knew it was time for my fam...

...atever he wanted to do he would do regardless. I still care for him even if he does not care for me. I called him, told him how I felt, how he had changed, and for the first time he did not listen he talked to me as if we were not family like we didn’t grow together.

My cousin and I have not talked since the summer, but he knows I am on his side always. I only want the best for him and in the end when all his short term friends are gone I will always be there to take him to get ice cream and listen to his life drama. I used to believe he was my superman but he was not; he was only a shadow of what I want to grow to be. I know that person whom I once knew is still somewhere inside him but it is merely up to him to relocate the person that once existed. Change is inevitable, because time waits for no man, but it is up to you to change in a positive or negative manner.
