We cannot change the past. Our present is determined by what has happened before and what we expect to come in the future. Our future is based on the path we travel now, before, and the path of everyone else around us from the beginning of time.

Free will, therefore, is an illusion.

I’m dealing with a recent family loss, I cannot change what has happened. I move forward because I know it’s my path.

It still doesn’t make it any fucking easier.
