Your Presence.

The drama around you is never going to stop. Something will always be happening around you. You just cannot escape that. That's life in its most basic form. Even if you choose one event, there's a chance you'll miss five more events that happen at the same time. There's no way you can be present at more than one place or event at a time. Even if you try multitasking with all the latest technology that we have in 2021, you'll only end up being fatigued. As much as you would have attended all the events that you wanted to, you'd not have actually been present at any one of them. There'll always be something that you'll miss out on, whether you like it or not. And just like that, there'll always be people too on whom you'll miss out. Your friends can be disappointed at you for missing their 18th birthday party, or for not being present for a meet-up that's taking place after a long time, but perhaps you could attend those events because you wanted some alone time. Your choices would have been to attend and be miserable there, or not attend and face your friends' disappointment. All you can do is make the choice that makes sense to you and be present. Wherever you are, with whomever you are, be present. Make your time worthwhile because you just aren't getting it back.

Love, peace.
