"There's nothing about you that I would change."
Is this good or bad? Change is inevitable. People change whether we like it or not. It may be in terms of body weight, music preferences or hobbies. It may also be drastic - like changing your religion, your behavior, and even your goals in life. If we love someone just the way they are, would we stop them from changing? If it's the other way around, would you prevent yourself from changing or accepting change knowing that someone loves you "just the way you are"?
I remember a line in a movie that went like: "You've changed. You are no longer the person I fell in love with."
Who do you think went wrong? Is it the person who changed? Or is it the one who didn't cope up with the other person's change?
On a different perspective, I've also heard lines that went like: "Don't try to change me for that is not who I am. If you really want to change me, you are better off with someone else."
In my opinion, regardless of the perspective, change is really inevitable. We will change whether we like it or not. It only boils down to how fast we accept it.
The one thing I've learned is - it is really easy to change or accept change once we know that it is too late.
You will find it easy to change the way you feel about your parents once they are dead. You will find it easy to change for the person you love once they've given up on you. You will find it easy to change the way you feel about your job once you get fired. Trust me, I know.
