I think one of the best pieces of advice I was ever given is ‘there is only now’ bc it’s so easy to get caught up reminiscing about what could have been, and even worrying about what is yet to come. But there is only now. So seize it. Forgive yourself for your past and let yourself live.

there are little moments where i feel especially grateful for my busy life, because it’s not busy, it’s… full? and that fullness is built with so many things - good and bad and love and sorrow and everything in between - and not long ago, i used to spend every day making sure every part of me was empty
pienezza: fullness, the state of being filled to abundance
“It’s not a tragedy. These things happen. A young man falls ill in the summer. An old man is run over by a taxi. The biopsy shows that the tumor is malignant. These things happen every day. And every day we left home thinking it will never happen to us. A disease takes away a father. The doctor reports a worrying examination. A motorcycle through a closed headlamp. Every day this happens. And every day our plans are the same. Work, lunch, work, dinner. I don’t think it’s a tragedy when these things happen to us. We say: “what a tragedy! Died so young!” I think life is a heap of chaos and coincidence. I think we’re here today and tomorrow we can not be more. A tragedy is don`t be grateful the time that we’re here. A tragedy is not valuing family life. A tragedy is exchanging the smile of our son by cell phone. Is change a family ride by the concerns of labor. A tragedy is not embrace people today. A tragedy is spending your life in white. A tragedy is that one day we will be happy, not today. A tragedy is we thinkg that never happen with us. And life is getting to later. One day I change my job. One day I say I like her. One day I do this trip. I think it’s a tragedy when we learn to value what we have only after losing. I think it’s a tragedy live appearances. I think it’s a tragedy to work in something you hate. Death is not a tragedy. Tragedy is when we didn’t live.”
