We are all melting…
From the moment we arrive, time begins to change us. Every laugh, every heartbreak, every person we love, and every moment we wish we could hold on to becomes part of the melt.
There is no way to freeze life long enough to keep it forever. But maybe we were never meant to.
An ice cube that never melts never feels warmth. And an ice cube that never feels warmth never truly lives.
The same warmth that melts us is the warmth that makes us feel alive. The warmth of friendship, love, risk, joy, grief, and being completely present with one another.
So instead of spending our lives afraid of disappearing, we can let ourselves be changed. We can be warm with each other. We can notice what is here before it becomes a memory.
We don’t get to decide whether we melt. We only get to decide how we melt, what we give to the world as we do, and who we are lucky enough to melt beside.
Enjoy the melt
