Did you ever know anyone in real life who just seemed to really enjoy life and be able to live it fully, in the sense that they worked hard, had ambition but also were able to do things and have fun?
I feel like I'm not articulating this well at all but effectively people who just led fun wholesome lives...
I'm almost 40 and I've always found these people really inspiring. I absolutely can see they have stress in their lives - sometimes the normal like exams or work pressure or family issues and illnesses - but yet they still seem to just 'do' life if you see what I mean? The don't seem to endlessly procrastinate or scroll on social media. They're living their lives but not in a go go go, not stopping to look around type of way - they just seem to be living, like really living!
I think a lot of this has always come from having a mum who used to say life was all about working hard and passing exams, you could celebrate 'after' but after never really came. I remember a girl at university who worked hard, used to get stressed like we all did but would also do things like bake a cake and go out, and buy herself fruit to eat well and it sort of just blew my mind.
I almost obsessively love looking at people who love like that as it gives me some sort of comfort and reassurance and I also feel inspired to create my life in a similar way except I'm never quite sure how.
does this resonate with anyone - and if it is, do you do anything to create the same life? or are you one of those people and how do you do it/have your life together etc?
