Ephemerality Of All Things Fragile
I mistakenly used “ephemerality” to describe something fragile, forgetting that it actually refers to the quality of being short-lived.
I’ve forgotten so much, it’s almost as if I’m losing my memories. One day, I fear I’ll wake up and, like someone with Alzheimer’s, won’t even recognize myself in pictures.
The concept of ephemerality captures the transient nature of existence, especially in things that are delicate and fragile.
It’s the recognition that certain things, no matter how beautiful or precious, are destined to last only for a brief moment.
Take, for example, delicate flowers. Their petals, so soft and vibrant, exist in a state of constant vulnerability.
They bloom, flourish, and then wither away, their life span a mere whisper. This fragility is what draws us to them, a reminder that nothing in life is permanent.
Re Carpe Your Diem
It is a clever take on the phrase “carpe diem,” which means “seize the day.”
In a health setting, this word is used to encourage people to make the most of each day by prioritizing their well-being through regular check-ups and staying informed about their health.
By taking control of their health journey, they are able to re-seize their day effectively.
