I never really appreciated the little things until I lost my grandmother last year. It’s funny how we take for granted the smell of coffee brewing in the morning or the sound of someone laughing in the next room. Now, every time I hear a kettle whistle, I’m reminded of her and those cozy afternoons we spent together. It’s a bittersweet realization that life’s simplest moments often carry the heavi...
I’ve realized that the more we glorify hustle culture, the more we undervalue rest. I spent years feeling guilty for taking a break, thinking I was somehow less worthy if I wasn't busy.
