Changes

Every morning i ever remember I sing. I wake up singing, wailing my lungs out not caring if I sound like a dying whale. In my life I have found just a few true loves God, music, and photography. My first love was music, ever since I picked up a guitar I knew I would be playing and singing till the day I die,but relationships change people. They say it can be in good or bad ways, but is that the truth? If a relationship is going to change you doesn't that go against every belief the human race has about love as of today? Take me for instance, I found a guy. He was amazing everything I ever wanted, he was sweet, kind, smart. I was in love with him, but everyday I grew closer to him something was changing in me. At first glance I thought it was good, I believed I was becoming a better person because of this one man that had entered my life. I followed him around and made googley eyes at him, I let my life be changed by him. Did my life need to be changed though? One day while blow drying my hair I realized something, I wasn't even singing. This was odd for me because this was the best time for me to belt out a few notes. Slowly I began noticing other things too, I realized I had not picked up my guitar in days, and I barely turned my iPod on anymore. I thought about this, but pushed it into the back of my mind. I told myself I was busy, but busy with what? A few months later Mr. Notsoperfect and I decided to take a break. While shuffling sadly around the house I found myself singing Adele songs to myself. Maybe they were sad songs but music is music, I picked up my guitar and played my feelings. I realized that my boyfriend had changed me in a way I couldn't even fathom. He took away music, not intentionally of course but because of his lack of musical ability I pushed mine to the side. I let the thing I had swore to love my whole life slip to the back burners for a boy.
So yes relationships can change us. But if someone truly loves us and if we love them we won't be afraid to be ourselves. We will be assured they will love us no matter what, even if it means putting up with the flaws we may even hide from ourselves. Love doesn't change a person, but the wrong relationship sure can.
