# Changesets

## The Edit That Stays

A changeset is a bundle of differences—words added, lines removed, thoughts reshaped. In the quiet work of writing or coding, it's the moment you pause, review what shifted, and let it settle into the whole. Life mirrors this: not grand overhauls, but modest adjustments that accumulate. On a crisp winter morning like this one, after the holidays fade, I think of my own small tweaks—a walk taken, a habit mended—that redefine the page.

## Layers of What Was and Is

Each changeset builds a history. You can trace back: here a doubt erased, there a hope inserted. It's reassuring, this layered record. In our days, we rarely rewrite from scratch. Instead, we stand on yesterday's version, altering just enough to move forward. A conversation softened, a fear faced—these are our commits, preserving the path while inviting the new.

## Holding the Diff

What draws me to changesets is their honesty. They show only what's changed, not the unchanged expanse. This teaches patience: celebrate the delta, the space between old and new. 

- One kind word where silence once stood.
- A boundary drawn with care.
- Gratitude noted amid rush.

In time, these diffs compose a fuller story.
