changed by you.

“Please wait, while I slowly untie my tongue tonight.

I pray, by some feeble attempt, my words would tell you what my heart has to say.

Cause you’ve always been right beside me for so many days.

How could I be without you now?

Cause I am changed by you, the more I get to know you.

The more I want you close to me.”

Have you ever met someone who just makes you want to be a better person? I have met a lot of those kinds of people throughout my life. Those people probably don’t even know the impact they’ve had on me. Whether they’re in my life right now, or not, I am grateful for the influence they’ve had on me. The people who have changed me the most have taught me some of the biggest lessons I’ll ever learn. They’ve given me new perspective, and I am grateful for that. There are some people I don’t talk to whether it be choice or just drifting apart, and sometimes I  regret the decisions that led me to that point. But I’ve realized I can’t do that anymore. Everything that’s happened in my life has made me who I am today. I understand things I never did before, and that understanding has made me better. I want to be the kind of person after people meet me they can say they were changed for the better. I want to be a good example. Someone they can trust. Someone they can depend on. I want to be the type of person who makes people happy. I am grateful for the good examples I have around me to help me be a better person. Who have change me. For good.
