A year ago, on the night before today, I had a dream that left me uneasy. My father appeared, silent but present. When I woke up, the feeling stayed. Inside, something kept telling me that I should be with him.
But life got in the way. I convinced myself it was just a dream. The next day, I lost him.
That moment changed everything. I realized how easily we ignore the voice within us — the one that knows what truly matters. Our hearts often sense what our minds cannot explain.
If I could turn back time, I would listen. I would go to him, hug him, and tell him how much I love him. But we don’t get to rewind. What we do get is the chance to listen now — to follow those quiet feelings that nudge us.
If you ever feel the pull to call someone, see someone, or simply tell them how much they mean to you — do it. Don’t wait. Life rarely gives us warnings. The people we love are not ours forever.
Today, one year later, the regret of not listening remains. It’s a weight I’ll carry for the rest of my life.
At this moment, I don’t even know how I feel.
But I do know this: when your heart speaks, listen.
If your heart tells you to be with someone, follow it. Time moves fast, and moments slip away. The greatest regrets are not from what we did — but from what we didn’t do.
