A Long Rant About Change
Like our world, we are ever-changing, each day 100,000,000,000 cells in our bodies are replaced, each day we see a new day ripe with challenges we grow from. In that way we mirror the world as to be apart of the earth is to change, nothing in the world is immune and it’s beautiful to know every sunrise and sunset will never be the same. Yet there is a right to fear change, even if it is out of our control, even if it is pleasurable to experience new things, we know that it isn’t always going to be good. Even if it is, because of human psychology some of us can’t perceive the good, everyday bound to feelings of intense sadness. Yet that is how it is, some things are just there but there won’t always be as being in the natural cycle of the world guarantees change, always.
I’ve hardly experienced the world, being young and all that really does limit your options, but from what I’ve seen, I haven’t really remembered much of anything. No memories of particularly joyful experiences nor memories of especially crushing lows. The knowledge that things never last long makes everything I experience feel really small in scope so I don’t remember much, as if my memories are adrift in the changing world in front of me. Experiences come and go naturally so as cliche as it sounds I just roll with it, like the change in the waves shifts a directionless boat, complacent just to be, because what else is there except the sea it floats on.

Change is a natural and inevitable part of life. You make a good point about change happening on a daily basis. Nothing lasts forever and life is unpredictable. My life now is not the same as it was even a year ago, for example. Sometimes, we do not want change in our lives. Even the smallest changes can be hard for us at times. But depending on the circumstances, change can be exactly what we need, because it can help us grow. It can teach us to not take things for granted. I loved reading your perspective in the last paragraph by the way, when you were talking about your mindset on your own experiences and why you don’t remember much. I don’t even do a whole lot now, but that paragraph was still enlightening for me.
