Turn around, and the people you thought you knew might change. Your little boy might now live half a world away. Your beautiful daughter might be sneaking out at night. Your ex-husband might by dying by degrees. This is the reason that dancers learn, early on, how to spot while doing pirouettes: we all want to be able to find the place where we started. Jodi Picoult
About This Quote

The people that we care about the most may change without us realizing it. It is because of this that we need to be aware of our surroundings. We should always be on guard and prepared for the change to occur. We should know who our friends are, where they are, what they are doing, what they are thinking, and how they are feeling. When we do not know our friends well, we will never know how they will react to certain situations or what they will do when faced with certain obstacles in their lives.
