Change in Tastes

Something as simple as a person's favourite dish or drink can change as the person's taste and preference evolves. We may come to realize that there are so many more types of food and drink that we have yet to savour... What makes one think that an object of affection will have any permanence at all? What makes people feel so confident that at a particular point in time we declare that we want to have a shot at spending a life time with someone? And at that point in time are they fully aware of the implications... what if one falls out of love, what is one party no longer wants to work on making the relationship work? what makes one party no longer want the relationship to work? fear? negativity? pessimism? insecurity? or another person that catches their attention? should the former object of affection just be cast aside like the 'favourite drink of the month'? into the rubbish bin? i think we should all try to be at least a little bit more responsible before expressing words that in any way could potentially give someone the hope that their love for another person is sustaining.. I think to be responsible individuals, we should try to the best of our abilities really process our thought prior to saying them. I personally try my best to do that in order to ensure that i am as sincere as i can be and also realistic with what i say. This is not to say that i am better than the next person.. i'm just saying taht i am very conscious of it and i am trying to be a better person. Sometimes i might hold back in explaining how i feel for fear that it was just for the moment.. and the implications of these words can potentially hurt someone very badly if there is no longer any validity of my sentence. Now is that the correct approach, i dunno. Sometimes i feel like i don't know anything anymore... need time to find myself again.
