She nodded "I know I'm the most horrible person in this world, but I'm so sorry I was not able to recognise you when I saw you. I should have apologize for everything I did. From our prom night to our marriage, for judging you for your imperfections when mine was piled up like a mountain. I love you Pearl, I can't live without you. I don't know how I survived those days without you. But at this point, just do whatever you want to. You're free to divorce me. I deserve it, I deserve everything you want to do. Just please, find a place in your heart to forgive me" ////////////////////////////////// Fly! not because you want to, but because you have to.—Penangel.

His companion nodded in agreement, adding, “Perhaps peace isn’t the absence of pain, but the courage to keep loving despite it.” The conversation drew the attention of an elder, who approached with a kindly smile. “My dear ones,” he said softly, “every day is a chance to mend what was broken. Our scars remind us of what we’ve overcome, and our laughter is the anthem of our resilience. Cherish these moments, for they are the building blocks of our future.”

* “I wanted to save everyone. Fix everything. Build a perfect world.” *Perfection is an illusion. You build better, not perfect. You create opportunities, not guarantees. And you remember that progress is measured in generations, not months. The work you do today plants seeds that may not flower for decades. That is how worlds change. Slowly. Painfully. Imperfectionally.* The presence faded, but I felt lighter. Less burdened by expectations of immediate perfection. I could not save everyone. Could not fix everything. But I could keep trying, keep building, keep planting seeds of better futures.

Whether we like it or not , change cannot be avoided . As such , trying to pursue permanence only means suffering in the long run.That’s because you will never be able to fully hold on to every aspect of your life.Instead , one part of your life may eventually leave while other aspects will become parts of your life . Sometimes , it feels as if there are hundreds of reasons not to move on.We hope that by holding on , we somehow have a chance of getting back to how things once were.But in most cases , this is impossible. So instead of desperately trying to hold on , it’s important for your physical and mental well-being to eventually let go of what happened and to move on with your life .

Really thought about it. "That nothing is permanent but effort still matters. That rest is as important as work. That saying no protects what matters. That legacy is not what you achieve but what you enable others to achieve. That family is who shows up consistently, not who shares your blood. That love is maintenance, not magic. That joy is a choice you make despite impermanence." "That is wisdom." "That is survival. Everything I learned, I learned because I had to. Because the alternative was burning out or giving up."

Strong, yet weak at the same time. We'll be fine. That's what I've been saying in my head, over and over again so that I would be able to accept the fact that this life is not perfect. It never will be perfect. Some people will come and ruin things for us, we just have to be strong, we just have to face this. There's no 'I quit' button in life because that quit button leads to a permanent solution, death. If death occurs, then, there was no point of living in the first place because we had given up on it from the very beginning before it all started to fall and crumble.

"Looks like my girlfriend got a little bit faster than you." That was the first thing he said and I looked at Sophia's face, trying to gauge her reaction. It gave nothing away, if anything, it was blank, almost eerie. "Well, you can't say. I'm winning this year sha." She replied grimly, her face set into a grimace. "Your determination ehn. It's just sport na." "What's worth doing at all is worth doing well." "Babe ehn. Why can't you just follow Adam's principle? In life, we win some, we lose some."

~IVY~ It feels like I've been here for ages. Nothing changes, everything stays the same. Staying here has revealed to me that change is good, change is a part of life. It's a sign of evolution, of growth. We chase permanence but dance daily with impermanence. I'm becoming philosophical by the day, staying alone in a dark room will do that to you. It'll make you notice the little things and examine thoroughly each passing thought in your head.

Anything," I said immediately. Meant it completely. “That you’re going to let me love you with my whole heart every single day that we get. Her voice was steady now. Certain. “That you won’t [do things half-assed] because our time is limited. That you won’t dedicate your life to being my living reminder of what I’ll lose. I need you to live fully. Not carefully. Not like you’re getting me ready for your death or anything. Just fully." I knew what she was really asking. She worried I would get defined by my own impermanence. That I would spend our years together aware at all times of being transitory. The thing she would outlive.

“I’m doing this because time is cruel. It takes everything. Everyone. Nothing lasts. Nothing remains. So I stop it. Make moments eternal. Give people forever instead of fleeting.” “But they’re trapped. Conscious. Suffering.” “They’re preserved. Protected. They’ll never age. Never die. Never lose what they love. I’m giving them a gift.” “Did you ask if they wanted it?” The Source went very still. “Want is temporary feeling. I give them permanence.” “Permanence isn’t living. It’s existing. There’s a difference.” “Explain.” Lena thought carefully. “Living is change. Growth. Loss and gain. Pain and joy. Existing is just… continuing. No evolution. No experience. Just being trapped in one state fo
