last night i was reading a book a cousin had left me 8-ish years ago. back then, i was still little and didn't understand it. now, i read the book carefully, and it taught me so many lessons. one of those that stood out to me was:

when you lose something and can't see it, close your eyes and extend your arms. if the thing you lost isn't in your reach, it doesn't mean that you lost it, but that it left you.
