This comment hit me so hard I had to share it with you

December 15, 2025

Hey Gang,

The other day, I was doing something I do often; reading through the comments from this community.

Some are short. Some are poetic. Some share deeply personal stories. And I appreciate every single one. Over time, I’ve come to recognize many of the names, and there’s something incredibly grounding about seeing familiar people show up again and again. Yes, even the few emojis. I’ve come to value those more than you might think.

But this week, something changed.

Someone who usually leaves only a few emojis wrote more. Much more. Instead of symbols, there were words, carefully chosen, honest, and they stopped me in my tracks.

He wrote about living with the knowledge that his life is coming to a close. About how his world has narrowed in ways he never expected. And he shared that, over the years, I had come to feel like a brother walking alongside him.

I closed my laptop after that. Not because I didn’t know what to say…but because I needed to sit with what I’d just been given. Perspective.

We spend so much time worrying about things that don’t deserve the space they take up. Deadlines. Frustrations. Conversations we replay. Problems that feel urgent, until they’re placed next to something real.

That comment reminded me how fragile life is. How quickly the days move. How quietly time passes while we’re busy rushing through it. And too often, I let chaos drown out gratitude. I let urgency replace awareness. I forget that simply being here, breathing, connecting, showing up, is already the miracle.

So as we move into a season that tends to speed everything up… The noise. The pressure. The endless “what’s next”…This is your reminder to stop.

To slow down enough to notice the gift you’re standing inside of. To appreciate the people, the moments, the ordinary days that won’t always be this accessible. To be grateful, not in some forced way, but in a quiet, honest one.

Because life goes by fast. Faster than we think.

And sometimes it takes a few words from someone else to remind us what really matters.

Thank you for being here. Truly
