Three Words

Robert Frost once said, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”

It’s a simple line. Stark, almost. But the older I get, the more it lands like a quiet truth you don’t argue with. Not because it’s profound in a flowery way, but because it’s just… accurate.

Things fall apart. Friends drift. Plans change, and sometimes they completely unravel. You don’t close the deal. You lose the person. You sit there holding the pieces of something that once made perfect sense and now doesn’t.

And still, the days come. You get up. You carry on. Not always gracefully — sometimes you drag yourself, sometimes you’re numb — but somehow, you move forward. That’s the quiet resilience in “it goes on.” Not heroic. Not cinematic. Just real.
