Change

I find change exciting. Novelty and variety are offset by loss and uncertainty. Change is great when you’re bored with one way of being. Less fabulous when you’re happy with what you’ve got. Either way, change is inevitable. Imagine if it wasn’t. I once read a piece inviting us to consider if the hours we spend in consecutive moments were done in periods over a lifetime instead. Imagine thirty years sleeping, 2 years showering, 5.4 years eating, 2 years making love, 4.5 years of arguing, 15 years of dissatisfaction, 6 years of failure, 7 mins of bliss, 25 years of television. It’s an invitation to choose what we do with our precious time. 2 years and 7 minutes doesn't seem enough.
