In a newspaper post from 21. January:

To the editor:

I’m writing in to show my appreciation of your article on how a newspaper article is made.
It is not every day that we get to glance behind the scenes and learn how much work goes into the things we take for granted.

I do think that sometimes we tend to forget the people behind the work we enjoy. Instead of living in the present, we are constantly rushing to our next appointment; just one more day we tell us.

When did we stop appreciating the beauty in the world.
I think that you, and all of the people reading this, should probably take a step back, at least today, and do what you always wanted to do. Show your special someone what they mean to you.
That they matter.
