The first thing I observed is that the author had time to think and reflect on things during the extra time he or she had and this led me to say that when we are less busy as human we tend to be all up in our feelings and we always wanna go back to younger years and think of our dreams and aspirations. Sometimes it makes us see things clearly while other time it makes us question ourselves.
It is okay to listen to our elders yeah, but sometimes they tend to pass there fear unto us like you said, if we dont cross the fire we wont know what is on the other side truly, we choose either to get burnt or survive the heat and smoke. Life doesnt stand still, as it moves we need to move with it. Do not give room for regret.
Congratulations to the authors that got featured, curators that took there time to select this gems and to us readers.Good work to my favorite community.
