Reply to comment by k4Anarky in [Image] Everything is working in divine right order.. by JettMe_Red

I'm a student worker with a past I'm not proud of, and this marine who works in the office always talks about how "nobody changes", and it seriously puts me on the verge of a panic attack.

Sort of irrelevant, but I seriously hate that mindset, if I believed that, I'd have killed myself already.

Everyone loves a comeback story! Change is in our nature. We are the most adaptive species on the planet.

Don’t let someone’s admission that “I will never change” become an iron law in your mind of “people never change”. They change all the time!

Change is rarely comfortable though. So your fears are reasonable. Marines are fun but they aren’t exactly known for their people skills….
