Change Isn’t Something We Survive
What Interstellar teaches us about love, trust, and becoming infinite.
I’m writing this from Boston, where I’m helping my son settle into college. My heart feels tender—half breaking, half blooming.
On the plane here, I watched Interstellar. It didn’t feel like fiction. It felt like an activation. A mirror of what change really asks of us.
Here are the lessons that stayed with me:
1. Love is the only constant.
Across galaxies, through wormholes, through the collapse of everything familiar—it was love that pulled the characters forward. In times of change, we want control. But love—steady, infinite—is the only compass we can actually trust.
2. Change requires courage, not certainty.
No one in the story knew how their mission would end. They only knew that staying the same would cost more than risking the unknown. Isn’t that every threshold we face? To move forward without guarantees, led only by trust.
3. Time is elastic, but presence is eternal.
The film shows how time bends and slips away—but presence, love, and connection remain. In change, what grounds us isn’t clinging to the past—it’s being here, now.
Change stretches us. Sometimes painfully. But if we let it, it also expands us—into the bigger, truer versions of ourselves.
Maybe that’s the deepest message of Interstellar:
✨ Change isn’t something we survive.
It’s the very thing that makes us infinite.
