I heard the following lines in a movie recently and they struck me to my core like thunder: “Promise me to celebrate your birthday. They are important. You never know - it might be your last one”. Since then these words have stuck with me, as if they were the message sent from high above. Indeed, every second counts and worth celebrating. By celebration, I don’t mean hedonism or shallowness. What really lies behind it is something profound: live each moment as if it were your last, and one day, you will be right. It’s not pretentious optimism - it is a kind of surrender that bestows peace while also empowering you. It is the art of savoring the bittersweet taste of what exists here and now. These fleeting seconds are, after all, what our whole lives are made of. #randomthoughts
