We must not forget that our biggest application will always be the time we spend with our family and friends. Unfortunately, we only realize this when it’s too late and we’ve lost the ability to give that value to the people around us.
If we die tomorrow, soon there will be someone to replace us at work, however, the family and friends we leave behind will feel the emotional vacuum that will create our fault, so it is obvious that there is no more precious time than the one we spend with us. the ones we love.
Stay with those who appreciate you, those who kiss you without lying and feel you without touching you. Dedicate your time to people who deserve it and make you feel good. Whoever loves you will prove it sooner or later. Remember to put aside stress and obligations and deal with them as if there wasn’t a tomorrow.
