Today, I opened my first Gmail account.
Inside Google Drive, I found old folders: “important file”, “11 & 12 class memories.”
Sushant KC’s “Sathi” was playing in the background.
I didn’t cry. Not really. Just… felt something. A quiet wave of nostalgia, a strange calmness.
And then it hit me.
I’ve always chased success, building, coding, learning.
I believed productivity was everything.
But in that journey, I lost something: connection.
I never gave time to friendships. Barely to family.
Now, everyone’s moved on. Old friends still hang out, still laugh.
I’m proud of my progress. But sometimes, I wonder, was it worth it?
Coming home felt different this time. Messages were left on “seen.” Calls postponed.
Plans? Always for another day.
That’s when I realized: I chased dreams and forgot people.
Now, the silence feels louder.
This isn’t regret, it’s just a reminder.
Success means little without someone to share it with.
