Growth or Facade?

With any relationship or friendship comes growth. People grow close, grow apart. Become accustomed to new and different things even if it is in the same route they have always taken. Ambition becomes lost opportunity. Hear often how different I am compared to what I used to be. Sometimes I completely agree but others I differ. What if I haven’t changed. I know I still have the same wants and needs in life. Some bad, some great. What if the “changes” are something just a facade, fad of some sort? Just for the moment? What if I haven’t “grown apart” from those who originally were there? Holding onto the past is a gift and a curse. Humbleness can ruin a leader. Deciphering what to hold on to is an important part of progression.
