Everything in nature is changing, and so is your story. Acceptance doesn’t mean this is how it’s going to end. It’s an acknowledgement that this is where it begins. We are all works in progress. To be alive is to evolve. You can play an active role in that evolution, but first you need to recognise that it is happening.
