"You’re only human. You live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damn red velvet cupcake."
- Emma Stone

Let’s be real; life is hectic. Every day, it’s a constant rush from one task to the next: deadlines, responsibilities, to-do lists. We’re constantly striving, pushing forward, and planning for the future. But sometimes, we get so wrapped up in this pursuit of “the next thing” that we forget to enjoy the moment we’re in right now.

This quote is a reminder to take a break from the grind and savor life’s little joys. “Eat the red velvet cupcake” is more than a metaphor for enjoying dessert. It’s about letting yourself feel alive in the present. Life isn’t a checklist to be completed but a journey meant to be experienced fully. And yes, this includes embracing small pleasures without guilt — whether that’s a cupcake, a spontaneous day off, or a late-night movie.

We only get one shot at this life. While it’s essential to have goals and work towards them, it’s equally important to let go of the pressures that weigh us down from time to time. Give yourself permission to indulge in life’s sweet moments because those little moments can be the most memorable.

So, here’s to enjoying!
