Everything Is Temporary

“Everything is temporary.”

This was a thought that randomly popped in my head, and it felt like the exact words I’ve been looking for these past couple of months. It was the experience that I couldn’t put into words.

It’s the knowing that the good times pass, the bad times pass, the mundane times pass…everything (and everyone) passes. It just does—because it’s the nature of life. It doesn’t prolong happy moments, nor does it hasten sad ones. It has always been—and always will be—neutral.

But does that mean that these moments don’t matter? Quite the opposite.

I truly believe that all these moments are special and integral. It’s how we evolve and participate in this lifetime.

But it’s not who we are.
