“Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That’s part of what it means to be alive.”

Haruki Murakami

Simplified Meaning:

This quote talks about how, in life, we often miss chances and lose out on things we could have done. It suggests that this is just a normal part of being human. Imagine you had a chance to tell a friend you were sorry, but you didn't, and then they moved away. You can't change that now, and it can make you feel sad for missing that moment. The quote means these missed chances and the feelings that come with them are something everyone experiences. They remind us to try our best to seize opportunities when we have them. It's an encouragement to live in the moment and not have too many regrets about things we've lost or can't do anymore.
