To have, but not to own

She told me that my dog died. A bit stunned, but I am okay.

Somewhere along the lines I have been through this before. I almost simultaneously heard ‘nothing lasts forever’, because that is what I have swallowed as a fact a few years ago. That is also what I told myself when V fell out of my life

Today is my first day on a new job. It ought to go one day too. Everything ought to go. If there is one thing my last job taught me, it is: if there is no contract, how do you know? But even if there is a contract, how can that guarantee?

Everything changes in time.

Just because it was there, we feel like we own it. But we don’t.

aw, sorry for your loss. But it's true, everything is temporary.
