I have learnt many things from life, but the most profound lesson so far is this: everything can change in the blink of an eye. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Moments you never imagined could happen will occur, while plans you once envisioned may never come to pass. That is why they say life is unpredictable. It can feel frightening, yet somehow I can see the beauty within that uncertainty. There is joy and adventure, yet also misery and setbacks. There is love and serenity, but also loss and grief. And it is this constant dance between opposites that makes every single moment of life so precious. For life is never just one thing or the other. It is the entire spectrum of experience, from the darkest depths to the brightest heights. We cannot choose one while rejecting the other. To shield ourselves from pain is also to close ourselves off from joy. Just as the stars cannot shine without the darkness, we too must move through it all. And perhaps, when the end eventually comes, we will be able to say, we made life worth it because we chose to live.
