Life truly captivates me. I find myself constantly amazed by almost everything around me. Whether it’s how my wife gracefully moves around our home or plays the piano, how Marco, our cat, lounges about unexpectedly, or how gracefully our Areca palm spreads its leaves - each moment is mesmerizing.

Lately, my wife and I have been really getting into Dave The Diver. She plays on the PlayStation, while I dive in on the Nintendo Switch. Often, we’ll spend hours exploring its depths, and we don’t find ourselves worrying about productivity at all.

Each evening, as I settle into bed, I try to reflect on my thoughts from the day. Do I feel any regret for the fun times or maybe the hours spent aimlessly scrolling online? Sometimes a slight guilt does creep in, but these days, it doesn’t linger long. I’m adjusting my perspective on what it means to truly be productive.

For me, being there with my family increasingly takes priority over tasks that seem uninspiring or insignificant, which might explain why work sometimes feels less appealing, especially since a lot of it feels like obligatory social duties.

There’s so much I’m eager to tackle and truly excited about. However, I want to approach these projects with the right mindset and not rush into them. I believe in the importance of not forcing my way through what matters most.

In the meantime, I find returning to my writing quite fulfilling - it helps me gather my thoughts and deepen my insights. And as always, I make it a point to stay attuned to the marvels of the world around me, keeping alive my sense of wonder.
