“All changes even the most longed for have their melancholy for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves we must die to one life before we can enter another”
— Anatole France
Simplified Meaning:
When we experience changes, even if we have been hoping for them, it can be sad because we have to let go of a part of our past. It feels like a part of us is ending before we can start something new.
