"It takes alot to change one's core character."

Yes, indeed. It will have to take alot of incidents/events to change one person completely. Core cahracter? What's my core character, I wonder.
Frankly speaking, I prefer the old Gladys (not that old-old. but the old-old. get it? ok never mind. heh.)

"That's why we always look back fondly at our memories and past."

Yah. All we can do is just to look back at times, and move on. The future door will close on us if we look back too often. We will be stuck at the same spot and we will not be able to explore what's the future like for us. But, the past, the memories... they are too sweet and nice to ignore or leave them there... So what? We turn back and look AT TIMES, and continue walking forward.
'One problem with gazing too frequently into the past is that we may turn around to find the future has run out on us.'

"Don't put your friends on the grocery list."

Huhh? Friends are not things which you will go and shop for them when you are happy, and when you are upset, you just leave them there. So, treasure them.
Of course! Your family as well. I don't know what happened to mine, but i really want to salvage it. So... Jiayou Gladys :))
