# Liminal Spaces
"Change is the only constant in life - Heraclitus"
Liminal spaces are the in-between spaces, the border of things. The mixture of chaos and order. What happens in liminal spaces? Doubt, discomfort, unfamiliarity, anxiety. But also growth, change, and discovery.

It's important to be comfortable in Liminal Spaces. Because [[Identities are malleable and temporary]]. You have to [[How to know whether to shift your identity|when to shift your identity]].
