Simple is not boring.



Living in a world of instant gratification, it's not hard to see why we're always on the go. We have access to literally anything at our fingertips thanks to our handy dandy smartphones and countless WiFi connections. 

This life can get hectic; at least mine seems to be most of the time. I've heard plenty of times that "You can do it all; just not all at once" and up until now, I did not agree. When we're young, ambitious, and excited, the possibilities are endless, am I right? I'm right.

I like to think that if I'm passionate enough about something, anything, I can do it! The second I decide I want to do something, I want to do it! But pretty soon things start to catch up; working late to get your paperwork done, pulling all-nighters to study for exams, spending time with your family, going out with your friends who you haven't seen because you've been so busy, etc. Things add up and then we're left to make choices. 

That's the beauty of being who we are- we choose what we want to do, who we want to be, where we want to go, and so on. Sometimes it's hard to just sit back and think because we may feel like we need to be constantly moving, but it's OKAY to take a break. We don't have to rush through life; or we shouldn't at least. 

It's actually a necessity. Don't be afraid to boring and just chill out once in a while. 

How else will you know how truly awesome you are?
