Everything is temporary, nothing lasts. We are born and then we die. Life is all about loss, change and adjustment. Things happen, so we either learn to adapt or we don’t, but we move on in some way or another but not always at the same pace. Sometimes that can be hard because healing takes longer than we would prefer, but neither can anything be rushed. Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary storm. No matter how raging the billows are today, just remind yourself that this too shall pass.
No one is immune to pain, no matter how much they may hide it. We are all bound to experience heartbreak, especially since it is so easy to get ourselves attached to anything or another living being. That said, it’s equally painful to accept that not everything in our life is meant to last, no matter how much we hold on tightly. Eventually everything dissolves, decays and then it’s ashes to ashes, dust to dust. But looking at the brighter side of things, this also means that the pain you may feel now will only be short lived and that the feelings of dread which are clouding your happiness will pass as you progress along your path of destiny.
To the thinkers, the introspective, worrisome, thoughtful philosophers that over obsess with the meanings and causes of everything that happens, not everything has a simple meaning nor an adequate solution. Sometimes we just have to accept what is and move forwards. Relationships are not always meant to last. Sometimes people lose interest. People delude themselves into believing in a chemistry or connection that may have just indicated that the object of your desire, the you set your heart upon, would be yours forever, which in fact can never be because nothing ever is. There is beginning but, middle bit and end bit to everything.
Sometimes friends can grow farther and farther apart. Perhaps it’s no one’s fault in particular, but it just happens. Sometimes, we are meant to be in each other’s lives for just a short period of time. There are no guarantees to anything. There is no cure to save a dying friendship. Forced phone calls and empty promises do nothing more but remind you of how distant you have both become. Promises made two or three years ago are not set in stone and can be changed as they often are. What you think you are hearing may not be what they are really saying. People tend to drift along always searching for something they rarely know anything about. They want utopia and to own the golden chalice, and so end up disappointed.
A plan you thought was written in stone has probably exploded. If so, that is probably very disconcerting, since you didn’t even imagine that anything could go wrong. Very often things work out in an even better way than you ever imagined possible if you just stop chasing mirages. Don’t get so anxious that you cannot think clearly or make good decisions. If you remain calm and look at your situation logically, you will find your way through any amount of smog and fog and will come out very well indeed.
Sometimes life is a complete mystery. Things don’t make sense. People leave without notice nor explanation. The indestructible foundations we have built start to crumble whilst the pain of uncertainty is constantly present, but so is the joy of relief when things start working out. Accepting the ways of the universe and letting go of things we cannot change is a wise move because there is freedom in being strong, courageous and independent. Moving on and overcoming is an all-time task in itself. Take solace and comfort because worries and woes will one day go away. They are all temporary. Understand that you own nothing. Everything that surrounds you is temporary. Only the love in your heart will last for an eternity. The only way to find permanent joy is by embracing the fact that nothing is permanent and since nothing is absolute, there is no absolute silence either, only an appearance of temporary peace.
Like a sandcastle, all is temporary. Build it, tend to it and enjoy it. When the time comes, let it go because it never belonged to you in the first place.
Love and light,
