The Little Beautiful Moments || LOH #230

Like most Ladies of Hive, you probably have plans and goals for the future. But today, let's focus on the present. Tell us what part of your life you enjoy most right now.


Right now, I'm enjoying the excitement of pursuing my passion and chasing one of my dreams. If you asked me these question three years back, this would definitely not be my answer. And even if it was, it wouldn't be about this particular dream. It is one of my dreams to be a student executive before I leave uni. It's not something I got to become while I was in high school and I'm not ready to let the opportunity slip past me, now that I'm in university.

Every second semester of a school year, we run elections to select representatives for the school, faculty and department governments. I have always thought about running for a post, but I never had the courage to. Sometimes, self-doubt and the fear of failure gets in the way of pursuing one’s dream. More often than not, we have had to let go of goals and dreams even before we pursued them because we feared we might fail at it. That was exactly the problem I faced in my second year of university. Everyone expected me to run for a position in the department or faculty. It felt like the natural thing for me to do. But I wasn't ready to go ahead with it. I felt that I might not get voted in or that even if I did, I would fail at carrying out my duties. In doing this, I had already envisioned how my future would turn out instead of giving it a go. I never thought of the possibilities of winning, of doing better. And I let that dream go in my second year.

But we started 2025, and I decided to write down goals once more for the year. I didn't make New Year resolutions but I outlined objectives I wanted to accomplish as the year progressed. And amongst these goals, I picked up some that I had discarded in previous years. Amongst these, was running for a position in the school government. The position I’m aspiring towards is the Public Relations Officer for my department. I'm passionate about this position because it would grant me the experience and knowledge I need in my career path. It would also help me to get rid of my social anxiety and build networking skills. I'm thrilled and enthusiastic about running for this position. And I have started my awareness campaign. It's exciting taking this new step and chasing my passion. I enjoy the feeling of bravery that's coursing through me at working towards one of my goals. And I hope I achieve it, God's willing.

I also enjoy noticing and reveling in the little beautiful moments of the present. Moments where I notice that I'm laughing a bit more. Moments where I'm happier. Moments where I can feel the warmth of the sun on my skin or the chill drops of rain. Moments where I can taste the sweet efforts put into a dish. Moments where I hang out with my favorite people and I feel like the world is a better place. Moments where I see just how much beautiful the universe is. Moments where I feel joy at connecting with my loved ones. I enjoy living slowly and consciously. I enjoy living freely and pursuing my hobbies and passion. I enjoy the peace I feel in the present. I'm glad at how much I'm living for the present and letting go of worries of the future.

Learning doesn't necessarily have to be at university, there are many different paths for people as long as they enjoy the process of learning in life and doing what they are passionate about 😊
