How many times have you ever heard someone use the saying, "I hate my life?" My guess would be a lot, and you've probably said it yourself at times too. And while this is simply an in the moment, over dramatized expression, people say it because they are genuinely upset by the current happenings of their life. It is pretty safe to assume that most of the time they do not mean that they literally hate their entire life, but whether it be a person causing them strife, a situation gone wrong, or a mistake they themselves made that backfired, something is awry.
The funny thing about life, is that it's not funny at all. We live in a here and now world that demands us to be present and have it together at all times. But one can't do that without taking the time to make sure everything is how it should be; to plan and to prepare their life in the way they want. Can you see the gap here? It is impossible to win at life.
So what can we do- when our world demands perfection and all we can see is the mess and confusion that fills our days? Simply be. Time spent doing nothing, is not time wasted. Take time to be alone with yourself. You will never fully grasp the beauty of your life if you are too caught up in the chaos to see straight, and you'll end up "hating life," when you really just need a moment to get past that one thing. Simply being is what humans were made for, everything else is simply a perk of living.
