@Ellehcim 18 March 2025 more from that month

I only got to see the moon recently. What have I been doing with my life that I forgot my habit of looking for it, and looking at it? I used to look out the window and stare at it for minutes, with my mind clear of thoughts. I even used to talk to it, now not anymore. I talk to God, instead. Today was a long day and I am grateful I am still more present in the moment. My thoughts were not filled with random stuff nor complaints, but appreciation instead. I'm grateful I have a body that allows me to travel to work. I am thankful I have a mind that I use to earn money and help my family. I'm blessed to not be alone working late and commuting on my own—I am accompanied with many other individuals, tired and eager to go home as I am. The struggle feels a little bit lighter. I still wish life is easier for me. And yet, here I am, smiling for the little things. Human life is tiny, and short. But it's meaningful.
