It seems we are constantly struggling to gain attention, seeking acknowledgment that reassures us we are enough. This attention can fill our moments, days, weeks, and months with joy and fulfilment.
Attention comes in various forms: a nod from a stranger with a hint of a smile, a compliment from someone we know, reassurance from a loved one, a pat on the shoulder from a boss acknowledging our work, or a like on social media.
Perhaps it is the emptiness inside us that drives this constant search for attention, causing us to overlook opportunities to pay attention to and acknowledge those around us.
In seeking to fill our own voids, we might be missing the chance to create moments of joy and fulfilment for others.
