“Neither time returns,
nor does life repeat itself.
Therefore, be happy…
not tomorrow,
not when everything falls into place,
but now,
even with what’s missing.
Time doesn’t come back to correct mistakes,
nor to bring back people,
nor to repeat opportunities.
It passes in silence,
leaving behind memories,
lessons,
and some nostalgias that tighten the chest.
And life,
once lived,
offers no rehearsals.
Be happy in your own way,
without asking permission,
without comparing yourself,
without carrying guilt that no longer belongs to you.
Be happy with the simple things,
with what you have today,
with what still hurts
but keeps you standing.
Don’t wait to be perfect to live,
nor to have everything resolved to smile.
Happiness doesn’t always come wrapped in euphoria;
sometimes it’s calm,
sometimes it’s peace,
sometimes it’s learning to breathe without fear.
Love when you can,
say what you feel while there’s still time,
hug tightly,
forgive if that sets you free,
and let go of what steals your peace of mind.
Because neither time returns,
nor does life repeat itself.
And when you truly understand this,
you begin to live with less haste
and with more authenticity”
Be happy…
