.:.change.:.

every cell in the human body regenerates, on average, every seven years.
like snakes, in our own way, we shed our skin.
but, biologically we are brand new people.
we may look the same,
the change isn't visible, at least not in most of us.
but we are all changed,
completely,
forever.

when we say things like people don't change it drive scientist crazy. because change is literally the only constant is science.
energy,
matter,
it's always changing
morphing, merging, growing, dying.

it's the way people try not to change that is unnatural.
the way we cling to the way things were instead of letting them be the way they are. the way we cling to old memories instead of making new ones.
the way we insist,
despite every scientific indication,
that
anything in life
is permanent.

change is constant. how we experience change...that's up to us.
it can feel like death, or it can it can feel like a second chance at life.
if we open or fingers, loosen or grips, go with it
...it can feel like pure adrenalin.
like at any moment we can have a second chance at life.
