Changes & Seasons

Hi lovely hivers!

Yes, everything changes, it's something you often hear, especially during certain periods or moments, and perhaps now is one of them. Because the feeling has changed; I realized it this morning when I finally felt some fresh air early after months of hot, stagnant air. Finally, you can breathe without sweating from the very first minute of the day. Something is changing, or at least that's what almost all of us hope.

Because there are expected and desired changes, like this meteorological and seasonal one. Those of us who adore autumn and those months ending in -ber are already eager and celebrating. Then there are other changes that appear unexpectedly and suddenly, and they tend to frighten most people who prefer the certainty of the familiar and repetitive. But they can't be avoided.

So the best thing is to trust, hope for the best, and be prepared. To accept that life is pure uncertainty, and you have to know how to flow or surf the river of life, until the very end. And I think it's better this way; otherwise, everything would be so boring and unexciting, and we need to be able to feel excitement for life again. A continuous gift that we must learn to value and truly accept.

So, let the changes come, let the seasons finally change, summer drags on too long and tiresome, welcome back the new things, long pants again, the routine of city life, classes, and other tasks, walks without breaking a sweat, and new, unique moments in life. Because every moment is truly unique and unrepeatable.

And for that, sometimes we have to accept certain losses, so to speak, goodbyes too, letting go of old habits, or ceasing to be so present on these kinds of platforms, to focus on other more important things in our lives, or things that, for whatever reason, interest us more now. Because everything changes: our interests change, our priorities change, and we change.

I look at this old photograph above I have left behind, one of just a few, from when life was different, from those distant trips, and I think, I reflect on all of this, on how much time has passed, how many things I've done since, and on the many other things I will do that I can't even imagine or know about now. That's life.

All that remains is to look ahead with the confidence that great things await us, as the river carries us further afield, while nature around us and our entire environment continue to change. The trees change with each season, the colors shift, the temperature shifts, the sky changes, in a constant cycle that takes us further, toward incredible and unexpected places and moments.

So we shouldn't fear change, but rather embrace and cherish it, welcoming with open arms the gifts and surprises that this uncertain and ever-changing life has in store for us. Right now, with the window open, we can already feel that current of change, that fresh air that is transforming everything.

Thanks for reading! Have a great and nice day.
