  Speaker 3: several days. The visibility was poor with patchy fog, so

  Speaker 3: the captain remained on the bridge keeping an eye on

  Speaker 3: signal that ship we are on a collision course. Advise

  Speaker 3: you to change course twenty degrees. Back came a signal

• 1:29
  Speaker 3: second class. Came the reply, you had better change course

• 1:58
  Speaker 3: today's episode of the Last Time. In this show, we

  Speaker 3: explore the inevitability of change and the profound moments that
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: mark the end of chapters in our lives. Nothing lasts forever,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: and every experience, no matter how small or grand, has
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: its last time. Whether it's the final goodbye to a
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: childhood home, the last concert of your favorite band, or
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: even the last time you said I love you to
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: someone special, these moments are a powerful reminder that all
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: things must eventually come to an end. Today will reflect
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: on the significance of these moments and discuss how we
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: can find meaning in endings rather than fear them. From
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the personal to the universal. Let us dive deep into
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: what it means to experience the last time and how
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: these moments shape us forever. So sit, relax and join
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: us as we explore the bittersweet beauty of finality and
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: the lessons that come with it. But before we continue
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: with our episode, we have our trivia question of the day.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Are you ready for it? Here it is which metal
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: is known for its distinctive white color and is often
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: used in high end jewelry, but is more valuable than gold.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: We will have the answer when we come back. Are
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: you looking for your next great read? Dive into the
• 3:44

• 5:10
  Speaker 3: for listening and happy reading. Do you know the answer
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: to this week's trivia question. The question was which metal
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: is known for its distinctive white color and is often
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: used in high end jewelry, but is more valuable than gold.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: The answer platinum. Platinum is a rare, dense, and highly
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: durable metal that is often used in high end jewelry,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: such as engagement rings and wedding bands. While gold has
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: been the traditional go to for fine jewelry, platinum is
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: more valuable due to its rarity and unique properties. It
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: is rare rarer than gold, meaning it is more difficult
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to find and extract from the earth. Platinum is also
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: more durable and resistance to tarnish or corrosion, which makes
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: it an ideal choice for pieces that are worn every day,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: like engagement rings. So its natural white luster is often
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: highly sought after as it does not require additional plating,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: unlike white gold, which is often quoted coated with rhodium
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: to enhance shine. Because of these qualities, platinum typically commands
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: a higher price than gold in the jewelry market. Now
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: you know, the significance of last times in our lives
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: cannot be overstated. Every ending, whether big or small, a
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: profound emotional weight. It is in these moments that were
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: often reminded of the fleeting nature of time and the
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: impermanence of all things, But rather than seeing them as
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: something to dread, they offer us an opportunity to reflect,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: to grow, and to truly appreciate what we've experienced. When
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: we face a last time, a final goodbye, a last
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: moment of something we've loved or held dear, it's natural
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: to feel sadness, nostalgia, or even fear of change. But
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: these feelings are not just signs of loss. They are
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: reminders of the depth of our connections, the beauty of
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: what we've lived, and the impact that certain people, places,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: or experiences have had on us. These moments encourage us
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: to reflect on what truly matters to us, helping us
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: to realize and develop a deeper understanding of our values
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: and our priorities. Finding meaning in these moments lies in
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: how we choose to approach them. Instead of focusing solely
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: on the sadness or sense of finality, we can choose
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: to celebrate what has come before. We can cherish the memories,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: the lessons learned, and the growth we've experienced along the way.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Embracing the last time allows us to honor what was
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and to carry its essence forward with us. Rather than
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: fearing endings, we should embrace them as an essential part
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: of our journey. Every ending clears the way for new beginnings,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: new chapters that bring fresh experiences, lessons, and opportunities for growth.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: By accepting the inevitability of change, we can face the
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: unknown with the sense of curiosity and anticipation, knowing that
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: life is always evolving. So let's take a moment to
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: reflect on the significance of those last times in our lives.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Let us embrace them as markers of our growth, of
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: our journey, and of the beauty that comes with experiencing
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: something fully, even when it's the time to say goodbye.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: After all, it is these moments that shape who we
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: are and prepare us for what is to come. The
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Last Time a poem by Kay Ashley. There was a
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: last time for everything, but I didn't know it then.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: The last time you, the last time we laughed, the
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: last time I held your hand, without knowing I would
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: never hold it again. Funny how the end never tells
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you that it's arrived. It just stands quietly at the door,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: waiting for you to notice.
