Back to the basics
It's been a while and I've been doing a lot of contemplating. It seems like life doesn't seem to favor me these past months. Maybe it's all in my head. Maybe I tend to play victim and feel miserable instead of looking at the brighter things.
One of my grandmothers passed away in August. My other grandmother, in New Year's day. It was so sudden. We just celebrated her 78th birthday on Christmas day, and then the new year came with the sad news.
I haven't had the time to properly grieve and reflect because of family and work. But their passing made me realize (again) how fleeting life can be. How it can just pass quickly, without warning, without hints.
This year, I want to focus more on what really matters. Relationships, health and growth, giving. I want to prioritize simplicity and avoid unnecessary complications. Maybe it's time to go back to the basics.
