Imagine life as a storybook—a volume filled with chapters, characters, and unexpected plot twists. Each day, we write a new page, crafting our unique narrative. But what title shall we give this amazing book of existence? Let's explore why "Subject to Change" is not only a fitting title, but also profoundly wise.


Chapter 1: The Prelude

Our story begins with uncertainty. We step onto this cosmic platform, quill in hand, ready to create. Our name graces the title page, yet below it, the title states: "Subject to Change." It's a gentle reminder that life's script isn't fixed; it's an evolving masterpiece.

Chapter 2: The Dance of Seasons

As seasons shift, so do our chapters. Spring blooms with hope, summer blazes with passion, autumn whispers of impermanence, and winter embraces reflection. The title remains constant, but the content of this chapter dances the 2-step of growth, loss, and renewal.

Chapter 3: Characters and Cameos

Our cast includes family, friends, and fleeting acquaintances. Some play leading roles; others appear briefly, like shooting stars. We learn that relationships are chapters within chapters, each leaving an incredible mark. "Subject to Change" becomes our mantra, allowing us to embrace arrivals and farewells.

Chapter 4: Plot Twists and Pivots

Life's plot twists, like unexpected job offers, chance encounters, heartaches, and returns, shape our narrative. We pivot, revise, and adapt. The title, like a compass, guides us through uncharted waters. It whispers, "Stay open. The next chapter awaits."

Chapter 5: The Blank Pages

Between milestones lie blank pages—the pauses, the breaths. We fear these empty spaces, longing for certainty. Yet, they're where magic happens. We doodle, dream, and rewrite. "Subject to Change" reminds us that emptiness isn't void; it's potential.

Chapter 6: The Art of Editing

Life's editor is changeability. It gets rid of unnecessary subplots, trims excess, and highlights pivotal moments. We learn to let go of overwritten sentences, like grudges, regrets, and outdated beliefs. The title, etched in gold leaf, whispers, "Edit fearlessly."

Chapter 7: The Epilogue

Our final chapter approaches—the denouement, or the resolution, of our story. We pen reflections, gratitude, and legacy. The title, now worn but cherished, encapsulates our journey.


"Subject to Change" isn't defeat; it's surrender to life's grand design. Ir is acceptance. This serves as an interesting counter to how lessons of the past have evolved into perceptions of surrender as a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a sign of strength - to stand tall while not resisting the flow of life.

Conclusion: The Wisdom of Uncertainty

Why choose this title? Because it liberates us. It invites curiosity, resilience, and awe. When we embrace impermanence, we savor each word, knowing it might shift. We become coauthors with the cosmos, writing our epic tale—one revision at a time.

So, pick up your quill. Write boldly, knowing that "Subject to Change" isn't a limitation; it's liberation.
