Romanticizing My Life

Has it ever occurred to you to take a pause and look back at the life you’ve lived?

Today is one of those days for me. I’ve seen people “romanticize their lives” using pictures and videos. I however, try to do it with words.

I’m a genuine believer that your life cannot be described by materialistic possessions, for these aren’t permanent. For me, life means passion. It means compassion and understanding. It’s the beautiful sunrises and fulfilling sunsets. It’s the morning breeze and “Oh look at the moon” at night. Life for me is comfort, a sense of belonging.

But most importantly, Life’s what it is because of the people around you. It goes without saying that I’m so grateful for the people with me presently. People who encourage and uplift me. Who do not fear being bluntly honest with me. The sense of purity and genuinity I’m shown blows me away sometimes. And that’s what makes me appreciative.

Do you too get a tingling sensation when being with your favourite person? Those delirious giggles you get at nothing in particular? Aren’t these the things we actually crave for? To understand and to be understood? And yes, We all have a future to build and a career to strive in. Each day we struggle to live the life of our dreams. The need to achieve more, fast and before anyone else is inevitable. But this rush drains you out. It takes away your peace. And that is exactly why doing what you’re passionate for you is extremely necessary. Passion is food for the soul. Try not to get too engrossed in the pursuit of success that you end up losing yourself.

So,(Not trying to be too poetic) I hope to always click pictures of the sky, to look at the moon and appreciate it’s serenity, To sing in the bathroom, to dance my heart out, to love and to be loved <3
