Chereads / The Fractured Self / Chapter 3 - December 11

Chapter 3 - December 11

Today was quite an ordinary day, but it sparked some interesting thoughts. I went to the supermarket and found myself drawn to two women packing their groceries. As I watched them, I started imagining what their lives might be like. I pictured their home—how they might share laughter over dinner, argue about what to watch on TV, or even have heart-to-heart talks over a cup of tea. I wondered about their routines, their favorite meals, and the small moments that make a house feel like a home. It was a curious exercise, thinking about how different life could be if I were someone else. The mundane act of grocery shopping suddenly became a window into a life I don't know. It reminded me of how we all have our unique stories, even in the simplest of tasks. Today was just a reminder of what I wish I could experience. I need to keep searching for my own moments of happiness.
