In our youth, we all think that there’s plenty of time. You can do everything: make peace with a friend, call your parents, go to that very place where your soul is so drawn. “Tomorrow,” we tell ourselves. “I’ll still have time.” And this tomorrow lasts for years, until one day it’s too late.
It’s too late to say “sorry” to someone who will never hear again. It’s too late to confess your love when he or she is already in another life. It’s too late to take a risk because fear has held your hand for too long.
But, you know, while we are alive, not everything is lost. Life is beautiful at least because it gives us a chance. A chance to do something important right now. Write a message, hug someone who is close, or finally buy a ticket to where you dreamed. Have you ever thought about what is important for you to do before it becomes “too late”? Maybe you should do it today? Sometimes we think that beauty is only something large-scale. But in fact, it is hidden in the little things: in the warmth of hands, in a sincere look, in the silence where you can hear yourself. So let's live in such a way that it never gets late. Or at least happens as rarely as possible. Where will you start? Anastasia.
