Love this post and it resonates with me deeply. I was fortunate enough to have my own wake up call when I was very young after losing my mum to cancer. From that point onwards, I looked at life very differently and realised that it is very short. Now, in my late 20s, I still aim to use that experience to appreciate every moment on this short and precious life that we have. There is a popular saying, "Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it,".

Thank you for this inspirational piece. Your timing is impeccable. Your writing is engaging. It's hard to pick my favorite part. I will go with section three and paraphrase with "don't sweat the small stuff."
