When you realize the reason you like watching movies and TV so much is because you get to watch someone else live a life.

A remote reminder for everyone:
You don’t need friends to spend time. If you don’t have them, that doesn’t mean you’re wasting your life.
Everyone spends their time in different ways, you don’t have to follow others to achieve happiness.

fun fact, you will allways waste your life. If you go into one direction or into another there is allways something to experience that you will miss out if you choose to go the other way. the secret of happiness is not to regret oportunities and situations that you didnt make right, but to appreciate your life as it is in the very moment.

Here's a big brain question: Am I wasting my life because I'm clinically depressed or am I depressed because I'm wasting my life? 🤔

My husband had an affair after 26 years of marriage and 34 years together. Now divorced, I am struggling with rumination. All the things I should have done differently that might have saved my family. Your lessons are helping me. I’m a work in progress, as always. Just a bigger hurdle to get over. Life is so worth it.

I am very aware that I am wasting my life even before I watched this vid--

[JuneStay]

Yesterday I had a massive melt down, crying most of the day and worrying about ‘what I’m doing with my life’ 😭🤦🏽‍♀️ but this video is a great reminder for me to just think about what’s happening right now and not worry too much about the future. The future will happen anyway whether I worry about it or not. Thank you for reminding me that it’s about NOW. Not yesterday or tomorrow! ☺️🙏🏽💖✨✨

Hey everyone. Go easy. This video is actually a gentle prodding and encouragement to make us realize how precious time is and how valuable we all are. On a bad day I might call it nonsense, but it does ring true even if hard to do. All my love to you all...
