No matter how hard we try to keep things as they are — to make time stand still — it’s simply not possible. Everything has to pass. And everything has to change.
However, one important thing we cannot forget is this: just because one thing ends doesn’t mean everything ends. Even if we end things ourselves for the sake of our self-worth and sanity, it doesn’t mean the end of everything. It simply means change.
And change is a beautiful thing. It promotes growth and self-revelation. It forces us to step out of our comfort zones, no matter how scary it feels.
Your life is like a book full of chapters.
Think of your life as a captivating novel, brimming with chapters that unfold a myriad of stories and experiences. It’s a literary masterpiece adorned with magical loves, beautiful friendships, and thrilling adventures. Each chapter surpasses the previous one in its richness and depth.
And the best part? This book hasn’t yet reached its end. It holds countless untold stories, some of which you’ve yet to discover.
You have to learn how to let go and close the chapters that you have already read. At some point, you have to stop rereading the ones that no longer serve you or bring you joy and fulfillment. When you do that, a brand new one starts. So make sure to start it without fear and holding back. Write your own new story, one that will be a bestselling novel made solely for and by you.
You have to be brave enough to close old chapters and end old storylines.
Recognizing that new beginnings are the most exhilarating gifts life can offer is a revelation that can ignite a fire within you. The courage it takes to overcome the fear of the unknown is worth it. Embracing change not only paves the way for new memories, experiences, and connections, but it also rekindles the spark of life that you may have thought was lost.
So, close the old chapter, end irrelevant storylines, and remember: it’s not the end of the story. Rather, it’s simply the beginning of a new one.
