I kind of wish that the idea that you can just be was a little more mainstream.
Like, having drive and ambition is great. But it gets drilled in kidsâ heads that there is some pressure to constantly be looking for the next move up, to be bigger than life. It wears you down to never be satisfied.
Not everyone is destined for greatness. It just doesnât suit some people.
Thereâs nothing wrong with having a quiet life, making enough to get by, having a small apartment where youâre comfortable, and just living. You donât have to constantly be looking to go onward and upwards. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to just be.
âIt is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life.â -J.R.R. Tolkien
