Everything changes with time. You can't predict where you're

The words of Lil Peep, poet of a restless generation, carry a haunting clarity: “Everything changes with time. You can't predict where you're gonna be next year; you have no idea, you know what I mean?” Though spoken with the simplicity of youth, these words are wrapped in the ancient truth that time is the great river that carries all things into transformation. What seems fixed today will fade tomorrow, and the paths we think secure may vanish in a moment.

The meaning is both sobering and liberating. Change is the only certainty, and it comes whether we prepare or not. To live as though the present is permanent is to be deceived, for time bends all things—fortunes, friendships, health, dreams—into new shapes. Yet within this unpredictability lies a strange gift: the freedom to accept uncertainty, to live more fully in the present, and to embrace the unfolding mystery of existence without fear.

Lil Peep himself embodied this truth. Rising swiftly from obscurity to fame, he became a voice of raw honesty for many young souls. Yet his life was cut tragically short, a reminder that no one knows what the next year, or even the next day, may hold. His words, spoken almost casually, bear the weight of prophecy: we are travelers in a world where the only constant is change, and where tomorrow remains forever beyond our grasp.

History gives us countless echoes of this wisdom. Think of Marcus Aurelius, emperor and Stoic philosopher, who wrote in his Meditations that all is flux, all is perishing, and that clinging to permanence is folly. Or consider the fate of mighty cities like Pompeii, thriving and secure until a single day’s eruption turned them into ash. Their stories reveal what Lil Peep captured in modern tongue: you have no idea where you will be next year, for time spares no promise of stability.

The deeper teaching is this: instead of fearing change, we must learn to flow with it. The unpredictability of life is not a curse, but a summons to presence. It urges us to cherish each day, to forgive quickly, to create boldly, and to love deeply, for none of these moments will return. If we learn to live in rhythm with time’s river, change no longer frightens us—it becomes the canvas upon which our lives are painted.

The lesson for you, seeker, is simple but powerful: do not cling too tightly to what is, nor despair too deeply when it passes. Prepare your heart to let go, and prepare your spirit to welcome the new. For though you cannot predict what tomorrow brings, you can choose how you meet it—with fear, or with courage. To live well is not to control the future, but to walk into it with an open heart.

Practical actions follow. Embrace the present by giving thanks for what you have today. Take risks in your passions, for delay may rob you of the chance. Speak words of kindness while you have the breath, for tomorrow may be too late. When change arrives, whether joyous or painful, accept it as part of life’s eternal rhythm. In this way, you will no longer fear uncertainty, but welcome it as the sign that life is still moving within you.

So remember, children of tomorrow: everything changes with time. You cannot know the shape of next year, nor should you seek to hold life in a cage of certainty. Instead, walk boldly into the unknown, anchored by courage and guided by love. For though time transforms all things, the soul that embraces change will never be broken, but will ride upon the river of life with strength and grace.
