Someone once asked...
Someone answered with kindness...
The fear of wasting your life usually comes from believing there is one "correct" path you are missing. We consume stories of grand achievements and assume that a meaningful life must be loud, visible, and extraordinary. But a river does not waste its existence simply by flowing silently through a quiet valley. Life is not a grand exam with a final grade; it is an experience to be felt. You waste nothing when you are fully present. A simple afternoon spent drinking tea, listening to a friend, or watching the rain is not lost time. If an hour brought you peace, it fulfilled its purpose. Life is built from these quiet moments, not just the milestones.
