Why I would never stop romanticizing life
Romanticizing life is accepting what it has to offer, good, bad, and everything in between. Seeing the world via this viewpoint helped me rekindle my love for life.
Even the quiet and mundane moments can offer extraordinary experiences; they are the most unassuming moments we commonly take for granted, but we forget that these moments are what make life worth living.
For the last 3 years, the phrase “romanticize your life” has emerged on social media as a call to action, rising in popularity during some of the grimmest months of the pandemic.
It asks us to appreciate what we have right in front of us and to live with intention, no matter how mundane our daily rituals might be.
It did face some criticism though, that "over-romanticization can create unrealistic expectations of how life should be."
"Or it may invalidate hard feelings, encourages the trivialization of hard emotions like pain and grief."
Sure, too much of a good thing can be harmful.
And although my daily life aren't made of only beautiful moments, I would still never stop romanticizing life.
Why?
For most of people, we wake up to yet another day of school/work. We do the same task that have been on our schedule for a longest time, sleep, repeat.
It's no surprise that everyone wants to spice up our life, even if it is in small gestures.
And I don't see anything wrong with that, as long as we don't compare ourselves with other people.
Just because your life may seem simpler than some YouTubers, that does not mean it is devoid of beauty.
As for me, although this is my full time job, I never go against my life philosophy to create content. This is the lifestyle that I've been doing even before starting YouTube.
Take time to figure out what brings you joy.
It’s not an aesthetic, but rather a shift in perspective, a way of looking at life that makes it more enjoyable. It's not about denying our lives and pursuing someone else's.
Life is beautiful and sometimes we just need to look at it from a different angle.
Start with things you're already doing, make those things more enjoyable, whatever "enjoyable" means to you. Notice and appreciate all of those moments, however small or simple.
It doesn't have to be a trip to Tuscany, Italy.
It doesn't have to be growing a full vegetables garden.
Sometimes it's just putting a music playlist you like while cleaning.
Or it's just drinking a cup of tea without interruption & multitasking.
Some found joy even while washing coffee pots, “After putting a little soap in the pot, I gently squeeze the bottle to blow bubbles out. I love bubbles and it feels so peaceful."
For others, it's just waking up early in the morning, braiding their hair and making their favorite breakfast.
Some people may see it as “extravagant and pointless,” but if it makes us happy, it's none of their business that we bring some extra beauty to our lives.
Romanticizing life is accepting what it has to offer, good, bad, and everything in between. That negatvie feelings are just as crucial as the enjoyable ones in helping us make sense of life's ups and downs.
