Living in a world of investments, I often wonder—can I truly be happy? The thrill of watching numbers rise and the anxiety of seeing them fall are part of my daily life. It feels like I'm constantly running, chasing something that never quite feels within reach. Even when I hit a target or make a profit, the satisfaction is fleeting, replaced quickly by the next goal or the fear of losing what I’ve gained. Sometimes, I question what all this is for. Am I investing for security, for freedom, or simply because it's what I’ve been taught to do? The stress that comes with it often overshadows the joy. I find myself checking numbers instead of enjoying time with loved ones, planning for the future instead of living in the present. There are moments when I envy people who live simpler lives, free from the constant pull of charts and market updates. I wonder if they experience a kind of happiness I’m missing—one that's not tied to outcomes or profits.

Sometimes, I feel lonely even when I'm with someone. Perhaps it's the emptiness that comes from being too familiar with each other. Familiarity brings comfort, but that comfort can sometimes make us take each other for granted, letting care and attention slip away. When we are both too busy, it feels as if our hearts fail to connect, even when we share the same space. Caught up in our own responsibilities, we often neglect those closest to us. Maybe it’s because we think, “They know me well enough, so it’s fine.” Yet, this very assumption can lead to unintentionally hurting each other in ways we wouldn’t with someone we’re less familiar with. To ensure closeness doesn’t turn into indifference, perhaps we need to make an effort to rediscover each other, even in the comfort of familiarity. Taking moments to check in, to notice the little things, and to be mindful of each other even in silence—these small acts can transform shared moments into deeper connections.
