"Contemplating on making life's journey..." Isn't is funny how people expect some huge, drastic change in another person when something 'big' happens in their lifes? Like if your friend gets married, you expect them to neglect you or act different or treat you different. Or if someone was in a horrible car accident, you expect something drastic like them being scared the rest of their life, sensitive, or completely stop driving. But people usually end up being..themselves. They still have the same personality just different circumstances. Such funny expectations we have in others sometimes.
