Pockets of Joy: Essay

 

Pockets of Joy: Essay

“All I need

Is a little bit of joy

In my day

To make me smile”

You are not a machine. You are a soul who needs music, connection, sunsets, laughter, and small pockets of joy. Prioritizing them like your life depends on it because it does.

Life is not meant to be a cycle of stress and survival. Pause. Look up. Let the sunset remind you: you are here to live, not just to hustle. Life is not a to-do list.

Lif is a gift. Walk slower. Hug longer. Laugh longer. Love deeper. The clock may be ticking, but your presence is timeless.

We have been conditioned to believe that constant productivity equals worth, but humans were not designed for endless output. We need moments of wonder, connection, and rest-not as rewards for hard work, but as essential ingredients for a meaningful life.

Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath, smile, and start again.
