all you want to see is make believe

Is it wrong for us to want things to stay the same?

It's a conscious thought that all of us have usually, the knowledge that things don't remain constant throughout the years. And yet we still want things to be the same.

I think part of that comes from the comfort we take in constancy. The fact that, despite everything going on around us, we still have this one thing that will always be the same. That we can put our trust, faith, what-have-you in.

And maybe this constancy reminds us of times that were. Having a friend that you've known since you were five often sparks stories that begin with, "Hey, remember that time when..." and some incredible moment from your history is relived.

And for a moment, if only for that moment, you feel like life is simple again.
