stop looking at the future. stop dwelling on the past. just look at the present, and be in it, live in it. for there is only one today and so many tomorrows.
"everyone around you at this moment, just think you are meant to be with them. because through the good relationships and through your choices, they've come to you. treasure and cherish the people around you."
- zerobaseone, zhanghao
time flies by really quickly, and instead of continuously rushing forward, you should take it slowly one day at a time, so that time can flow more meaningfully and slowly.
you may not find meaning in life now but look at the people around you and cherish them, for they will come and go only once in your life.
many people see winter as an 'end', a wrap for the year, saying goodbye to someone. but for me, i see it as a new beginning. why? because i don't want to focus on the past and regret what i did. i don't regret how my life turned out it be. winter is just a new chapter for me to begin with, something i should look forward to.
"if i like a moment, i mean me, i don't like to have the distraction of the camera. i just want to stay in it... beautiful things don't ask for attention."

honestly, how do we view life? do we romanticize it, or do we face it realistically? no one knows, which is what makes life interesting.
life is like an open puzzle piece that no one had touched, waiting for you to explore. each and every one of our puzzles pieces are different, but they all complete a beautiful picture. Don't compare your life to someone else's, it will always be different. Just appreciate the beautiful picture you are piecing up. Treasure life on its own, you only have one chance at it.
why do we compare ourselves to things that are meant to be different? everyone had their own good and bad side to life. if you feel like you have a bad life, its only because you haven't seen everyone else's bad side yet.
"to see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life"
- the secret life of walter mitty
