We are here:

There is no forever even if we manage to live indefinitely life as we know it will eventually come to an end. The finality of death and the cycle that is life revolves around an intricate dance of here and gone and there's a certain beauty that comes with it. We're able to enjoy the sweet taste of ice cream on a hot summer day and cherish the time spent with loved ones because we know it's not forever. We're here for a moment and gone the next; it's an open invitation to explore and wonder and love fully and wholeheartedly because the moments are fleeting and as finite as they are hold deep and precious meaning, the little inklings of time and space they take up in our memories and in our being. What a pleasure it is to be alive and a privilege to experience its woes and its delight and afterwards we say goodbye one last time. Aging is not a curse nor is death cruel; they are markers to show that we were once here, that we lived and felt the earth beneath our feet and the sun on our skin.
