Letters from Inge

real treat

How are you doing today?

In the interview yesterday afternoon, I talked about that everyone has different purposes for wedding photos. Some people's wedding photos are for others to see, and they want to get compliments; some people's wedding photos are for themselves, to leave a look they like, not to pursue fashion, and only share with good friends around them.

This made me think about what our life looks like. Is our current life what I like? Or is it to get compliments from others?

Especially in the era of the rise of social media, no matter what you do, you always have to check in, take pictures, and upload... I am afraid that others will not know the urgency. It also seems to be eager to show others, "Look! I'm doing well."

Like buying a high-priced brand-name item, what is the starting point?

I once saw a passage in a marketing book: "For some cars, people who buy them don't care about their comfort or performance, but their identity and status." I think it's weird, but I agree with it a little This phenomenon cannot be refuted.

I also have a jacket that is expensive for me, but I hope it can bring me real warmth, and it can be worn for more than ten years. In this way, even if it is a famous brand, it is not expensive. And so far, I really only have that one coat.

There is nothing wrong with sharing, and there is nothing wrong with pursuing good things, but the purpose is very important. The same is true in life, the pursuit of beauty is good, but do you really like and need it, or do you want to get praise or comparison?

A word that many people have talked about in recent years - "live in the moment", remove all unnecessary worries, and truly enjoy everything in front of you; the person in front of you, the place you are in, and the thing you are doing . It is a real liking, a real enjoyment, a joy in it, without any impurities.

And you? Do you like the way you live? Are you also living in the present? Now that you are reading this letter, who is by your side? Maybe wait until you can have a good talk with him; maybe there is a favorite book that you haven’t read for a long time, make a cup of coffee and enjoy it together!

The beauty of life does not need to be far away, it is actually in front of you, right?
