Inevitable • certain to happen; unavoidable. Sunset. Age. Dust. Death. In life, we struggle with the choices we make everyday. We struggle with figuring out how to pursue our dreams. We struggle and we fight. However, we are told that there are things in this life that we cannot change; we cannot choose. Sunrise. Wisdom. Memories. Transformation. But that doesn’t mean we still can’t see the beauty in those things. Just because one thing comes to an end, it does not mean we end. Relish within the uncertainty of certainty. Embrace the avoidable within the unavoidable. Be you. You are inevitable.
