i know you should never judge a book by it's cover, or a person based on his or her behaviour on just a few occasions-

but still i am finding myself lost/disappointed/shocked by how people behave/the things they do. Sometimes it makes you wonder if they were the person that you first knew? Perhaps they changed without you ever noticing, or maybe they were always like this but you never realised?

Whatever the case, you can't help but feel a little awful, and caught off-guard.

it's like a lapse in judgement, a slip of the tongue,

something that wasn't supposed to happen, something that was a mistake;

but is it really better, if things turn out the way i expect them to be, or people behave in ways that re-confirm whatever impressions/bias/beliefs that i once had about them?

If things fall nicely in place, and everything that i want is on my plate-

not really, right?

(because) change is good, right?

people are difficult to understand.
