Beginning

Meredith: 

Every cell in the human body regenerates, on average every 7 years. Like snakes in our own way, we shed our skin. Biologically, we're brand new people. We may look the same, we probably do. The change isn't visible, at least not in most of us. But we're all changed completely, forever. 

Ending

When we say things like "people don't change", it drives scientists crazy because change is literally the only constant in all of science. Energy, matter. It's always changing, morphing, merging, growing, dying. It's the way people try not to change that's unnatural. The way we cling to what things were instead of letting them be what they are. The way we cling to old memories instead of forming new ones. The way we insist on believing despite every scientific indication, that anything in this lifetime is permanent. Change is constant. How we experience change, that's up to us. It can feel like death or it can feel like a second chance at life. If we open our fingers, loosen our grips, go with hot, it can feel like pure adrenaline. Like at any moment we can have another chance at life. Like at any moment we can be born all over again.
