I was about to write up a post on my frustrations with trying to get people to realize and acknowledge the difference in me from years past.  The change in values, the shift in relative importance, the urge of advocacy, and just attitude.  The basic sense of creed that comes with a pinch of maturity and awareness.  But I realized that I've written about it in bits and pieces in the past, and that it would've been just a re-hash.  It's hard if at all possible sometimes, though, to make people you've known for awhile to acquiesce to any change.  Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it to even try, now.  Move on?  At least now I'm realizing that I shouldn't be forcing it to others.  They either get it or they don't.
