we all know the feeling of once being very much into something and later on -- can be a week or ten years -- that same thing becoming less important, irrelevant or even something to be disliked. why does this change occur? the thing in itself doesn't change, after all -- collecting stamps is collecting stamps -- but the feelings we attach to it do. it is fascinating then to think why we like or dislike the things we do; and where do the reasons for these preferences arise from. i don't know how possible it even is to step outside yourself and observe your choices; when asked why do you do the things you or like this and dislike that, it is sometimes next to impossible to give a solid and unambiguous answer.
and even if you can give an answer, when thinking back to something that you used to like and no longer do, you probably would have had some kind of reply to that very same question back then, a one you would have found truthful at the time; and yet it is no longer relevant. so if we assume that the thing in itself hasn't changed, we can maybe deduce that you have; or maybe you were misinformed at the time and now that you know more, you see that thing in a more accurate light.
but do you still see it how it truly is?
