ambivalence

Just like water, we never cease changing. We are defined by the experiences that fill our once blank slates, which are in turn embodied by our characters and unique personalities. Making sense of the world in countless ways, we learn and unlearn, fall and move on, unavoidably losing parts of ourselves while gaining new fragments along this uphill journey. As we gain in wisdom and years, our simplicity and youth is lost. As we grow in wealth, we lose the time spent on accumulating it. So it has been written–nothing lost, nothing gained–and that’s how it’s going to be until the end.
