Marcus reminded himself that the universe is change, and our life is what our thoughts make of it. Everything you can see is on its way to becoming something else, including you. That can feel unsettling, or it can feel like permission. The hard season you're in will not stay exactly as it is; nothing does. Neither will the good one, which is why it's worth tasting now. Impermanence isn't a threat so much as the basic shape of being alive. You've already survived a hundred endings you once thought you couldn't. Today, instead of bracing against change, try loosening your grip a little and trusting that you can move with it, as you have before.

Inspired by the old idea of impermanence. Written by Ugo Charles.
