“What do people think when they watch fireworks?” I wonder. Fifteen minutes of watching them shoot up, burst into brilliance, then fade away. Is it merely a spectacle, or does it hold deeper meaning? We watch fireworks to witness beauty, to remind ourselves that it exists. And yet, they also teach us that the most beautiful things often don’t stay for long.
It’s 2025, and I am 28 years old. I still feel unsteady, caught between uncertainties, and truthfully, I long for a companion on this journey.
At the year’s start, we chase renewal, believing a strong beginning shapes the year. But motivation fades, and old habits return.
A meaningful life isn’t about a perfect start – it’s about daily choices, patience, and resilience. Small, steady steps matter more than rushing ahead.
So this year, I hope you make mistakes – because mistakes mean growth, learning, and action.
Make new, bold mistakes without fear of imperfection. In art, love, work, or life – whatever scares you, do it.
Spring teaches us to live with energy and passion. But spring – especially Concerto Spring 1 by Vivaldi (I personally love Max Richter’s Recomposed version) – also teaches patience. It reminds us to trust the season, knowing that growth takes time and that flowers never hurry their bloom.
