When we were young, the world appeared to be full of limitless possibilities. We sought and found love for the first time. We imagined our future and conjured up dreams. As we age, we learn there are limits, that life doesn’t always answer our wishes, that loves are lost and found and lost again. Success and failure both have roles as we (hopefully) grow wiser. Life is complicated, and we learn that while we make individual choices, we accept that highs and lows will accompany these and that many things are beyond our control. Change is the most constant facet of life. “There are places I’ll remember all my life though some have changed. Some forever, not for better, some have gone, and some remain.” *
