Some dreams fade, some stories end, and some loves burn away. There are days when you live with the haunting "what ifs"—what if they came to life? Would I be happier?
But then, you realize it was just a season—a fleeting phase of your journey, a rollercoaster ride meant to settle into calm. You come to understand that some dreams must end for your true purpose to unfold. Some stories close to make room for new chapters, and some loves burn out because real love doesn’t consume—it restores and nourishes. You no longer seek a love that is flawless but one that is real. Not a perfect person, but one who is present.
You no longer crave the highs of emotions, the thrill of excitement, or the rush of surprises. Instead, you yearn for quietness, humility, and the simplicity of life’s gentle moments. You no longer feel the need to prove you're right or to change someone’s mind. You choose not to dwell in the haunted places of the past; instead, you seek light and hope. You learn the power of forgiveness—not just for others but also for yourself. You forgive the harsh words you’ve spoken to your own heart and the negative thoughts that once caged and defeated you. In that forgiveness, you find freedom, healing, and peace.
You learn to savor the present, even amidst life’s uncertainties, because you understand the one certainty: death—that your days are numbered. You come to realize that vigor and vitality will inevitably wane, your hair will turn grey, your vision will blur, and the strength you once took for granted will fade. And so, you start moving forward—not out of fear, but from a profound awareness that the days will come when every step feels heavier and every movement slower. In this realization, you discover a newfound appreciation for the fleeting moments of strength and clarity, choosing to embrace them fully while they last.
You come to realize that one day, everything will fade into meaninglessness—a fleeting pursuit, a chasing after the wind. There is nothing new under the sun, no remembrance of those who came before, and even those yet to come will be forgotten by those who follow. In the end, everything comes to nothing, and when you are laid to rest, you will take nothing with you. Truly, all is meaningless.
Yet, in this realization, you find wisdom: to remember your Creator in the days of your youth. To fear God and obey His commandments, for this is the whole duty of humankind. For every deed—whether good or evil—will be brought to judgment. In this truth, you discover meaning amidst the fleeting nature of life.
