Change is the only constant.
Anything that lasts forever, or even a long time, loses it’s appeal, becomes boring, gets taken advantage of, etc.
All experiences that we deem good or positive are that way because they don’t last. Same with the sting of the perceived negative.
There’s that yin-yang again.
The hot burning flame versus the slow burning coal.
Happiness versus contentment.
Be aware of it, experience it, then let it go. For better and for worse.
Trying to make things permanent creates problems.

I had one of the most productive stretches of time in recent years. Woke up sick the next day. There’s that yin-yang again.
Then had a fun weekend with a friend is like a brother. But he had to go home. We weren’t sad at the end. We were grateful for the time well spent together and were both excited for what comes next for us individuality, respectively.
Letting go. Easier said than done. Like everything else, ever. But a little easier with practice. Just like everything else, ever…
