Do you have an absolute truth that will never change or an ever-changing truth that evolves over time?
If you want to state your path, that's cool....but it would be cool if you didn't and you left us guessing.
Maybe we can see past the labels for this one and see if we have some simliarities.

I think you're confounding several things here.
Truth is either independent of the individual or relative to the individual. I believe that it is independent of the individual: that things are either true or false, not "true for me, but false for you". Your use of the expression "your truth" suggests that you disagree.
Truth is also either changing or unchanging. It's obvious, I think, that the collection of true statements changes over time, though of course you might just add "...at this moment" to every statement to get past that issue.
The word "definite" implies "I am absolutely certain of the truth". The only reason that people say that is that they're ignorant of their own ignorance - we can always be wrong, so it's a mistake to say "I'm 100% certain". Unimportant, as well: the 95% or 99% certainty that we often do have is plenty as a guide to our actions in the world.

First, there is no such thing as "your truth" and "my truth." Truth is based on facts, not opinions. It cannot differ from person to person or from time to time.
Truth cannot evolve though our grasp and understanding of it can. But that just means we only saw it partly before. The truth did not change but our view of it did.

God's Holy Word is absolute truth. The Bible says in John 17:17 (KJV) that "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth". Jesus Christ said these words as he lifted his eyes up to heaven. Jesus Christ says in John 14:6 (KJV) that "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. God's Word will not change. It is a definite truth.

About the time I think that it's absolute it changes on me.

I have one truth that I hold as absolute, and that is that I know nothing with absolute certainty.

I have some truths that are very absolute and not up for negotiation.

I have an absolute truth that never and will never change over time. His name is Jesus Christ. Have you accepted Him? If you have not, he is ready to come into your heart anytime that you are ready.
