Reflecting on life’s quieter moments lately, I’ve come to realise how much value there is in small accomplishments, even when they seem overshadowed by chaos or insignificance.
Shakespeare once described life as ‘a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,’ and it’s a line that sometimes in my weakest moments - resonates deeply with me. I fear that my life will become a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
But I think there’s beauty in the ‘nothingness’ too, in the little victories, the silent milestones, and the day-to-day acts of resilience. Sometimes, meaning isn’t found in grand gestures or sweeping changes; it’s in those small, steady steps forward, even when the world feels overwhelming.
In those moments, life feels like it’s quietly telling a tale that might not shout, but certainly speaks.
