Summary

This quote highlights the bittersweet nature of change and the importance of experiencing loss. It suggests that when we strive for change in our lives, we often forget or disregard the fact that change inevitably involves letting go of certain things or aspects of ourselves. It suggests that loss is a crucial part of personal growth and development, and without allowing ourselves to grieve or acknowledge the things we lose, we fail to nourish our soul and fully embrace the transformative power of change.
