The Fragility of Life

Life is fragile.

In the beginning, this experience feels like a long road to walk.

By the end, it feels like it’s come and gone in the blink of an eye.

You come from the unknown, and when your time comes, you return to the unknown.

In between you live.

You love.

You experience something.

But the nature of what you experience is fragile, afforded by a delicate balance throughout the universe that won’t last forever.

But you could argue the fragility of life is what makes it so special.

Its fragility is why it’s so important to find gratitude in places you might take for granted.

You don’t know what tomorrow will bring.

Everything you know, love, and care about is temporary.

As much as it feels like it will last forever, it won’t.

It can’t.

Because change is inevitable.

You can only embrace it and adapt to it.

Assuming that tomorrow will bring the same experience as today is a mistake, but one that we’re all guilty of.

Love deeper.

Laugh louder.

Take risks.

Don’t leave room for regret.

Rise above your pain and be who you want to be despite the fragility of this experience.
