"There’s no point in wanting more when you can’t even love what you already have".

🥀

While you dream of mansions,

your home fills with sunlight you never see.

Chasing millions while your child's laughter

echoes through empty rooms.

Hunting fame while love waits

in your kitchen, growing cold.

We are all guilty—losing life

while planning to live it.

Your feast does not come tomorrow.

Life is already served, yet you ignore it

as it grows cold.

"None of us have much time.

And yet, you act as if things were eternal—

by the way you fear and long for them."

— Marcus Aurelius
