Your Laws...

Sometimes I wonder if people really change that dramatically when they're apart, as they say. I entitled this post "Your Laws" because of several reasons.
Firstly I really like the song of the same title (and the TV drama Triumph in the Skies 2). Secondly, the lyrics make me wonder about friendships, relationships and so on. Is it always the same? Are promises kept? What are the 'laws'; just the things they say/promise, or indirectly, their personality too?

Once we get to know one's personality, it's like a mutual law we assume that is there... we build a rapport with them, something mutual and tacit... we become synchronised when that rapport becomes stronger. And the things you do have a natural order, or method, who leads what... Eventually we become able to predict their actions, and their way of thinking, to an extent.

But does this always stay the same?
No.. of course not. People change and evolve as a reaction to our surroundings and our experiences, so the corresponding aspect of our personality could change too. This means the things we take for granted, that rapport that has built up slowly changes too. Things that were once said may not be as meaningful or become invalid, and what were once your 'laws' become irrelevant. Also, the way they once were may not be the same story now.

It's normal that people move on and things change slightly, but it would be a sad thing if the things turn bad, don't you think? Equally it's normal that our lives have times when things are going past quickly and other times when things slow down to a steady pace... I can't wait to find a refreshing new momentum (*^-^*)

[Lyrics]

You said that if I followed you...

Things that I want would all come true.

You said you would always be true, if I followed you...

If I followed you.

You said you would show me the world.

That I would always be the only girl.

You said you would never argue if I followed you.

These are the laws that you made,

how could I change your way, baby?

Oh Baby.

These are the rules that you made,

how could I doubt you, babe?

Baby, oh baby, my baby.

Have you ever listened to a word I say?

Or am I just the one to obey?

Does it always have to go one way?

And I follow you, yes I follow you.

I don't wanna make you angry,

so I keep quiet while I agree 

'til you tell me words that you say

and I'll follow you.

These are the laws that you made,

how could I change your way, baby?

Oh Baby.

These are the rules that you made,

how could I doubt you, babe?

Baby, oh baby, my baby...

Journey to the North...

The view from my hotel room: The Royal Liver Building

I'm back from the British Academy of Management conference, an international conference which was held in Liverpool this year.

Stop the clock...

Time has flown by, and so much has happened but yet at the same I feel like barely anything has changed...

I haven't been writing much, simply I felt there was little to say, and perhaps things I wanted to say felt wrong to disclose. I think the last time I had written was in July, briefly, and the time before that was in May. I can't believe it's September already.
