A Reflection from the Co-Editor

I believe most people can resonate with this sentiment: oftentimes, we allow life to slip past us unnoticed. We become preoccupied with work, school, or other obligations, often at the expense of the present moment. We fail to recognize the subtle yet impactful parts of each day we are given; instead choosing to focus on anticipation or what the future holds.

Awareness is a revelation; not about knowing everything but rather being able to see what has always been there. It is the ability to stop and listen—to the laughter of your siblings, birds chirping in the morning, even the cold winter wind. The world does not pause for convenience, it continues to spin regardless. It will continue to present its beauty, whether we acknowledge it or not. The choice is ours—do we embrace life’s moments or allow them to pass by unnoticed.
