Life

Sometimes life teaches us that the most precious things are precisely those that are priceless. đź’–

It is the smell of coffee in the morning, the delicate sound of rain hitting the windows, or the glow of a sunset that for a moment seems to stop time.

The simplest things hold a silent strength.
They remind us that, in the midst of chaos, what really matters is not what we possess, but what we can feel.

There is a kind of magic in simplicity.
It is in a laugh for no reason, in a flower that blooms between the cracks of the asphalt, in the tight embrace of someone we love.

It is these details that make us understand that, after all, it doesn’t take much to feel truly complete.

Life goes by quickly, but true beauty lies in learning to slow down to look at what has always been in front of us, but that we too often forget to appreciate.

In the end, it will not be the great successes that define our history, but the small gestures – those that perhaps no one notices – and that, in silence, fill our soul.
— Clarice Lispector
