Heraclitus' Flowing Reality

With all of the great quotes out there, why did I choose this saying by Heraclitus? 

For instance, you have this bestfriend of yours since high school. You always hang out and go to the malls and do things you both like. Then, when you both got in to college, everything slowly changed until you became civil to each other. Until the time came you wish you can go back in time and be reunited again with him or change everything to be his bestfriend again. Obviously, you can’t, 'cause that's reality. 

Change is beyond of your control, if we’re talking about time of course, but it is all up to you to make it happen. In life, everything changes. You aged and you developed physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. People come and go, some will stay, and some will never come. New babies are born, old people die. You live with great fame and fortune then got booed after 20 years of your career. Some people change for their betterment, and some change to rebel against others. Most of us envy Peter Pan or The Cullens for not aging, but they are fictional characters. Don’t get your hopes up. Haha! 

But seriously, that’s Heraclitus trying to say, that change is inevitable. Our reality is not fixed and permanent. Change, change, change, change! But that’s life! We cannot step twice in the river because the water is constantly changing, just like human life, our reality flows, and it is impermanent. We have to accept it and just be grateful about it. 

Maybe that’s why I chose this motto, I need to accept change and just keep moving forward. 
Just for a moment, you might wanna listen to this song by Green Day. It's a beautiful song. Enjoy! :)
