Hello babes and happy Tuesday! After spending the last month on a little blogging break, I’m so excited to be back in action, sharing some fun content with you all! Before we get back to my usual posts though, I wanted to share about a topic that’s been on my mind lately… being content. Keep reading to hear what I’ve been thinking about and to see if you can relate!
A few weeks ago, a family member asked me what was next in my life. For the first time ever, I really didn’t know how to answer. In my day-to-day routine, I have a lot going on. I’m still settling into my new job, I’m constantly on the go, and I’m just busy in general being a 21 year old! But as far as important life events, I’m at a loss. Ever since I was little, I was always focused on the future, what was coming next for me. Whether it was high school graduation, going off to college, summer internships, traveling, college graduation – it was always something big and exciting. And now that I’ve moved out on my own and begun my career, my life is much more stable. And while I was really looking forward to my schedule quieting down a bit, I’m realizing I wasn’t completely prepared for it.
In life, I believe that we adjust to the circumstances we’re given. If we’re constantly busy and go-go-go, after a while it will become normal. If we constantly have nothing to do, it will become normal. So I think my hectic and exciting life became normal for me. It became what I expect my life to continue to be but I’m in a new chapter now. And it’s an exciting one! It’s just exciting in a much slower, more grown-up way.
I think what I’m trying to say is that being comfortable and being content with the circumstances of your life isn’t a bad thing and it doesn’t mean you aren’t making progress. Life is constant rotation of emotions and events and you’ll need to adjust to each and every one of them but just because you adjust doesn’t mean your life isn’t as fun and enjoyable as before. You have the power to make your life just as you want it to be (busy or not) and when you realize that, you’re golden.
Can any of you relate? I know in talking to some of my friends from school that this is something a lot of people go through after graduating college or moving out on their own. Life is so, so fun and trying your best to find enjoyment in everything you do makes such a big difference in leading a fulfilled life. Please leave a comment below if you’ve experienced this or if you have any advice for those who are experiencing it now! As always, thank you for reading and I’ll see you next Tuesday for another post!
