Appreciating the Little Things

YES! Another holidays after sem break! It's Chinese New Year! I just want to be at home with my family and take a break from studying. That's what I thought every time I had a holiday. As usual, I'm going to do my "holiday routines" by scrolling TikTok, watching Kdramas, and staying inside my room. But this time, it hits differently.

Before the holiday started, I heard the news that my formal teacher in my secondary school got involved in an accident with his wife. Fortunately, his wife survived, but he didn't make it. When I heard the news, I just couldn't believe it. It just feels like yesterday that he taught my class. As you know, it's really eye-opening; we may live by taking every moment for granted and never appreciating any of those times because we thought it was just another boring day for us.

Therefore, for these short holidays, I spent quality time with loved ones and did something that I always wanted to do as long as I got the chance. We need to appreciate every moment we have with family, friends, and people around us because we don't know when our time will come. AND PLEASE DON'T EVER FORGET TO EXPRESS YOUR GRATITUDE! Just say, "I love you," to your loved ones as long as you have a chance.
