We know life is a process of accumulating. Yet, by what could we claim with confidence that we actually did something and that we grew from it? Fingernails. Somehow, the fingernails I cut became the best evidence to prove that trace of growth. Automatically reminded every 12 days or 15 days, I trimmed my fingernails biweekly. And the fingernails continued to grow. Such a repetitive process made me become aware of my existence and growth in time.

Life is indeed a process of accumulating. Collected fingernails were my emotional diary. They recorded traces of growth and allowed me to go on.

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. Being positive doesn’t mean life is perfect, it’s making a conscious choice to focus more on the good that exists. So that I devote more care to my life, to the surroundings, and to the people who I like and dislike.
