Awhh well can I be both? I really like the idea of being both because I think both are true. I know a lot of people don't like answers like that and think of them as shallow or, uhmm, defeatist maybe? I'm looking for a different word here, but anyways, I think that overall we, every living being, and even beyond, are ever changing. In an objective way and a more philosophical way, y'know, but we also stay the same in the fact that we are always who we are, and who we are is the whole that is all of those changes. I think that is beautiful way of thinking and that makes me appreciate life a lot — the act of change.

If we don't change then we'll never grow, so we must change because it is in our nature to grow — or, well, I think it should be. UHmm, so, yes. Personally I am ever-changing. I know this to be true because I have an endless desire to learn and understand everything I can, and with that, change in myself will obviously follow.

So yeah, change in everyone and everything is important to me or whatever

i love philosophy nonsense yay!

i do see myself as ever-changing, in fact im changing right now as i type this. the new stimuli, feelings, senses i experience in real-time adds up to the changes im experiencing within me all the time, i like to think. ohh this reminds me of the small discussion i had with someone else today !! it was also about change; more-so about how a character could develop within the stone prison theyre encased in, when they have no real stimuli except the feelings of others around him.. ok whatever it doesnt rlly matter right nyeow

i like to change certain aspects of myself as i engage with media, because exploring different options is fun! although, it does make me feel as though there isnt a real me sometimes. like, a real me that stays the same, that has real opinions that dont change so easily. but most of the time i think thats folly, because what are humans if not ever-changing and inquisitive amirite???

I think Heraclitus has also once said “Day by day, what you do is what you become.” why you change can be explained by this too perchance. all the new and old things you experience throughout your days makes you different from the person you were before it all. he also has a funny name

and yeah, i agree with your take on the quote a lot! the river stays the same because of the constant change, not despite it :> but i think your ‘true’ essence would not change much along with the rest of you, because its just in your nature. and you cant really get rid of that, i dont think.. unless you have an unreasonably long lifespan and can overcome your generational instincts, that is. the quote itself is really obscure, as is most of his sayings; maybe because nearly all of his work was lost and only short scraps were left for preservation.. shucks! but it does give you room for subjectivity :]

congrats on the milestone ! really kewl‼️

gosh i cant tell if this is sound or not its nearing 1am and imm gonna go too sleep zzzz

I had to redo this answer because I got a bit too rambly and it disrupted my train of thought #OopsieDaisy. I'm not even sure if this is coherent.

So I can (sort of) get back on track, the short answer is: Yeah, I think I am ever-changing and we all are, and even our Universe. Change is the one single constant that doesn't change and I like that paradox. I also like that this question is also a bit related to the last one #Nice.

This question also reminded me of the song "Everything Stays" from Adventure Time. Some of the lyrics go like: "Everything stays right where you left it // Everything stays but it still changes // Ever so slightly // Daily and nightly // In little ways where(?) everything stays". Pardon me if the lyrics are a bit wrong. The show itself has a lot of things related to change, in my opinion, as well as eras that the main characters would never truly get to know.

The world is made up of memories, well to me. I mean, the stars in the night sky can just be the light of a star miles away that has already died. Is that not witnessing a memory? And new memories get made, from nothingness that turn into something(?)ness(?). The world is made up of little nothings that are structured together to become something and I think memories work that way too.

These nothings shift and move, changing structures, or even the nothingness itself changes and thus the structure changes (even if it's a tiny bit of nothing). I like the words you can combine to talk about change, or describe the Universe. I like to think that people are like Universes themselves, just miniature versions. Wow this is Long. Did I even make a point? I actually can't tell, my head got jumbled up. It happens, #Don'tWorry.

I'll stop it here. 😁
