Fifteen years ago, my pockets held a Nokia phone, a wallet full of cash and transit cards, and a key to my front door. Life felt simpler, more tangible.
Now, I hold an iPhone. It’s smarter, sleeker, but at its core, still a phone. The wallet? Almost obsolete, replaced by the convenience of digital payments. The key? No longer for my front door—the house now opens with a fingerprint, no longer needing a physical key. The key I carry today is for my old BMW sedan.
Time has transformed these everyday objects. Technology has advanced, and I’ve adapted. Along the way, I’ve grown older, acquired a home, and driven a luxury car. These are marks of success, of a journey well-traveled.
Yet, in the midst of these changes, the essence remains. The drive, the ambition, the passage of time—they persist.
Life moves forward, and so do we. In quiet moments of reflection, I see not just the changes, but the constants. The journey is about growth, about embracing the new while cherishing the old.
Keep walking.
