In the past, I longed for a different life and regretted some of my past decisions.
If only in the past I made the decision to major in college according to my passion.
If only I didn't take the opportunity to study at a famous public university.
If only I didn't know the love that broke me because of betrayal.
And much like everyone else.
I've been comparing myself to other people for a long time.
How stupid am I. How worthless I am. How incapable of sowing my steps with others.
I forgot... that life is not a race. Because actually success is not something that can be measured. prices for me and others can of course be different.
I forgot... that in order to get one thing, I have to experience something else too. Feel the resistance. Experiencing ups and downs. Had an accident. Because there is no life that can be happy forever. Because even bad experiences have a purpose.
Maybe I can be a successful person, but always have to deal with unpleasant people.
Maybe I can become an established manager who is full of wealth, but always has a hard time finding a good life partner. The possibilities will always be there. Because most of life does have its advantages.
Just as Nora Seed explores the possibilities of her life through the midnight library, Matt Haig invites his readers to be more grateful for the lives they lead. Because dreaming of another life only creates unhappiness.
Maybe in this life, I am nothing. But I have a good partner and love me completely. I have two children who always praise me, and become healers when I am hurt. Only that. Enough. That alone has become everything.
Sometimes life doesn't have to be earned, it just needs to be lived.
