Today, on my flight from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta, the rain was pouring heavily. When the captain announced we should buckle up, turbulence hit the plane hard, and the rain created a loud backdrop. Babies cried, and some passengers looked quite pale. I sat by the window, gazing outside, and a thought crossed my mind: if I were to die right now, what would I regret most? Perhaps it would be not having the courage to express my feelings or having left so many things undone. But soon, that anxiety faded, replaced by a wave of calm.
I realized that simply reaching this point in my life is an achievement; it’s a gift. So, I won’t dwell on regrets. You can’t fight nature—feelings come and go, and everything is always changing. The goal is to create good memories for yourself and those you love. When your time comes, the people who know you will shed a few tears, and perhaps they’ll miss you. I think that’s enough. Life is short, so don’t waste it in despair. Find peace within yourself, and you’ll be able to truly appreciate the life you’ve been given.
