If you realize that all things change, there is nothing that you will try to hold onto. — Lao Tzu
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy;
for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves;
we must die to one life before we can enter another.
— Anatole FranceĀ

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. — Maya Angelou

(via a-fortunate-accident)

True life is lived when tiny changes occur.
