Love and relationships. On your deathbed you won't think about your job or your hobbies—you'll think about the people you loved and who loved you back. That's the whole point.
Love is the core of meaning: being known, needed, and connected. Achievements fade, but relationships make life feel worth living.
At the end of your life, you won't care about your resume or your bank account. You'll only care about who you loved and who loved you back.
Love and real relationships are what actually make life worth it. Everything else is just noise.
