Leisure talk: Let's hang out more!

After receiving the answer that she was not having financial difficulties and was not under that much pressure to make a living, I boldly suggested: We should play more, sister!

I also had a period of being quite frugal, in a hurry, always looking to the future and forgetting the present. "Trying to finish" is a bad habit that I am trying to give up. Gradually, I came to understand that life is not only about the destination, but also the journey. Before, I thought that I had to finish a job, save enough money, achieve a certain goal before I could rest and relax. But the more I grew up, the faster I saw time pass, many years quietly falling behind with regret. I missed so many beautiful moments just because I was busy chasing after the plans and goals I set for myself.

There are appointments that I postpone because I think "someday is fine, I have a lot of things to deal with". But sometimes that "someday" never comes. There are small joys that I flatly put aside because I think I have many more opportunities. But in reality, every day that passes is a day lost, a day less in the finite fund of human life.

Someone said that we often subjectively think that we have a lot of time, but in reality, no one can predict the number of days left. A cup of tea drunk in a hurry, a date that never comes, a message that has not been sent... we keep waiting for the perfect moment. But life is inherently not perfect.

Now, I learn to slow down and enjoy the present. Spend time with the people I love, listen more, feel more. I allow myself to relax a little, without having to be busy all the time. Because who knows, today might be the best day we've ever had.

Looking back on life, a few decades have passed by in a flash. Like a monthly meal card from college, each year one portion is crossed off, no one wants to count down but everyone has to accept it. Each person will spend that "meal card" in their own way, the important thing is that you feel satisfied, not because of anyone else's judgmental attitude, right?

At some point, we suddenly realize that there are relatives we haven't seen for a long time, some dreams are still unfinished, and a few promised joys have not been fulfilled. My mother once said: "Youth is very short, my child, don't wait until your hair turns gray to regret living too harshly on yourself." When I was young, I didn't fully understand that sentence. Fortunately, I finally adjusted a bit. I don't have to wait until I have free time to love. I no longer save joy for a distant day, but cherish the leisurely moments of everyday life.

So, let's meet more often! Let's have a delicious meal when we crave it, buy a nice dress if we like, travel somewhere every year, make a date once because we miss each other. Because time is limited, and happiness doesn't need a big reason, right?
