In our day-to-day, it is sometimes hard to take a step back and see beyond the drudgery of life, to feel something as it comes at you. But we need to try, otherwise all we do is feel the daily slog and look back on our memories or dream of what’s to come, without ever realizing, our life is happening right now.

It is better to send your friend a small note right now, telling them how much they mean to you, even if you feel like it is insufficient or silly timing; rather than to wait too long, and you have all of these beautiful memories and poetic sentiments to share, but they are not here to hear it.

You should tell and show people how you feel now, in the moment, when you can, rather than waiting for the perfect moment, because then it may be too late.
