“Nothing lasts forever” means “none of the things lasts forever”, and it does not mean that there is a thing called “nothing” which actually lasts forever.

You could say that after death you are in the same state as before being born (nothing) and that the said state persists with a poor probability that your molecules will ever assemble again the same way to make a “you”; however, because the universe goes on without a “you”, how long it keeps going and whether it is “forever” is irrelevant to you because you don’t exist to experience a thing (that includes the passing of time) after death.
First, it's true in my experience. From material things, to people, relationship, everything has its end. You can examine that what's born is bound to die, what's built will be destroyed, it's just a matter of time.
But does it have anything to do with you or me or anyone? It depends on how you make use and interpret it into your thinking.
For example, if you know that’s your relationship won't last forever, you will cherish and respect your partner; if you know that's your mom won't live forever, you will think of her more often, etc… And similarly you know that's your enemies, your friends, whomever you like or hate, they will not live forever, it's fine if you like them, it's not too bad if you hate somebody. Hope you understand what I mean.
I remember when my dad was sick and we had to take him from one hospital to another. unfortunately he passed away after some months. The pain after this is still there but never the same as it was. There I learned pain doesn’t last forever. I think love does, since love is the greatest. If fades though.

In fact, if you have a deep understanding of “nothing last forever" you will see life very differently, each moment is a gift, if you make mistake, you can fix it, because nothing is forever, it's great right? Everyone you meet has a meaning, you see somebody randomly passing by, and you know that's you will never see them again, the effect of “nothing forever" seems existing everywhere in your daily life. Its a miracle, a precious lesson, a true gift that “nothing last forever" gives us.
Except Energy, I think it will till enernity…
As we Learned in Physics, “Energy can Neither be created, nor destroyed. All that happens, is that Energy changes from one form, to another…”

I’ve learnt … If you feel that the most delicious Ice cream would last forever, then it does, as Ice Cream before you eat it and as Digested Matter, AFTER you eat it… The Core Essence of the ice cream is always there, though the Form, is different…
I’ve learnt the Ones we Love… They are with Us, when alive, unless we quarrel with them and push them too far away for us to get them back and when they pass away, they become a part of the mother Nature, in whatever way they are put to rest (Burnt or Cremated), so they are still with Us, except that their FORM is different…
So…. Yup. Everything is Energy… And Energy Lasts Forever… It’s just the form in which it does, that differs and it’s up to us, to see that we identify the Form… If we want to be attached to it, that is…
I assume you’re confused if nothing does last forever or does not
