What details of your life could you pay more attention to?
As an introvert, I spent much of my time alone, reading books, painting, and pursuing my hobbies. Luckily, I had friends and an extended family, so I was never truly isolated, but I always preferred my private space over spending time with others. In the beginning, this did not seem like a big deal. In fact, it felt like an opportunity to escape the negativity of the world and immerse myself in my thoughts and imagination.
But now, when I look back, I don’t remember the hours I spent alone in my room reading or watching movies. What I truly remember are the times I shared with friends and family—eating dinner together, going out, and creating moments filled with laughter and love. Life is more about these memories, yet we often forget that the present moment will not return. We keep moving forward and, in the process, leave behind beautiful people and experiences.
Today, when I get the chance to stay with my mother and father, I feel it is a blessing. Life has become busy with work, marriage, and responsibilities, and I no longer have the kind of time I did as a child in school or as a teenager in college. Those days are gone, but instead of regretting what I no longer have, I choose to cherish the memories and be grateful for the present.
I have realized how precious these moments are, so I now try to live more fully in the present instead of retreating into imagination.
Personal space is important, and I believe we all need time for reflection, growth, and creativity. But it is equally important to recognize the gift of the people around us. By the grace of God, we are surrounded by loved ones who care for us, and it is our responsibility to give them our time, to talk to them, and to create lasting memories together.
The only thing I want to focus on now is the moment I am living, the people in my life, the love around me, and the space where I breathe and live ❤️.
