You don’t always notice change while it’s happening — it creeps up slowly, reshaping your life right in front of you. One day you look at someone you haven’t seen in a while and realize they look different… older. Sometimes it’s you who’s changed, while everyone else seems the same. You think about old friends, family, even your younger self, and wonder how much time and distance has shifted everything.

You remember the moments you wished would pass — rough jobs, difficult experiences, financial strain — only to look back and realize those might’ve been some of the best times. You’ve tried to plan, to control the future, to hold onto what matters. But no matter how tightly you grip it, change keeps coming.

Eventually, you realize you can’t stop it. You can only choose to be present for it — to let go of control, embrace what’s in front of you, and love the people around you as they are… before they change again. Because they will. You will too. And maybe that’s the whole point.
