I need to start to romanticize life again. I need to read books, write stories, draw creatures, create and create and create. I need to stop in small moments and stare for a while at the most seemingly insignificant things. I need to do things slowly, but also more quickly. I need to learn what passion feels like again. I need to stop feeling like I’m missing out, and start actually trying to BE. I need to create a routine. I need to meditate every day, and I need to lay in the starfish position every night. I need to get a job and work long hours and come back with ten things to do, and no time to be on my phone and no want to be on my phone. I need to experience more than I think. I need to romanticize life again, and find joy in most moments, and feel the lows less.
