A story can be true for ages, until it isn’t anymore.
It’s a shape you make for fluid. It’ll look like whatever it lands in.
You get to decide how that operates and
[if it changes or it doesn’t and] how to navigate what you’ve got.
//I’m not pointing fingers// I know you’ll do the best with what you can for as long as you can.
And thank goodness for those who find you, willing to change the conversation.
Or those who found you, and changed the conversation with you. And wish all of them well.
You’ve got new stories to write (and also, soup to make).
