See what is already there.
What changes when we remember that nothing lasts forever?
We live knowing that life changes, people and circumstances can be lost, and our own time is limited.
Yet we often live as if what matters to us will simply remain, recognizing its value more clearly only when something changes, is threatened, or is gone.
Hi! I'm Ulrika Torquato.
I am interested in what happens when we remember that nothing in our lives is permanent.
Throughout my life, change, different professions, countries, and experiences have repeatedly brought me back to the same questions:
What truly matters? What do we take for granted? And why do we often recognize the value of something more clearly when we are faced with losing it?
These questions led me to explore finitude, loss, and our relationship with the life that is already here.l living.
What brings us joy is telling us something.
About what truly matter to us.
And it may not be what we thought.
A simple way to discover what genuinely matters to you:
Joyering is a way of discovering what matters to us by paying attention to what genuinely moves us.
By noticing the moments that create a sense of connection, beauty, meaning, relief, or aliveness, we begin to see what truly enriches our lives.
Not in theory.
Not in our minds.
But in our actual lived experience.
What Joyering means
How it works
When something joyful happens, a conversation, a walk, a good coffee, a piece of music, we simply tap the category that fits.
A butterfly appears. That moment becomes part of our collection.
When we reach 21 butterflies, we release them.
And begin again.
The future matters.
So does what is already here.
