I’m in transition.
This isn’t a new thing for me or my peers or, dare I say it, for anybody. Our lives aren’t composed of neat narrative arcs; we exist, rather, in a persistent state of constant, inescapable flux. We can strive for stability—I certainly do—but stable and static are not the same thing. To demonstrate the ubiquity of this situation, place yourself, for a moment, in the diamond-soled shoes of the Cullinan Diamond. Weighing in at over 3,000 carats, you are the largest known specimen of the hardest Earthly substance. It took over a billion years for the lithospheric inferno to forge you and force you through a hundred miles of magma and bedrock to the surface. After such a stressful and monumental journey, you’d be forgiven for taking a knee for a few billion more, wiping the sweat from your scintillating brow, and thanking the stars that your trials were at an end—except, of course, that your transformation wasn’t done.
