Why I'm Learning to Romanticize Everyday Life

For the longest time, I thought life would magically feel different once I reached the next milestone.

Then I'd reach it... and I'd already be chasing the next one.

Lately I've been trying something different.

Lighting candles even when I'm home alone.

Buying flowers just because they're pretty.

Putting on jewelry for a coffee run.

Taking the scenic route home.

Cooking meals that look as good as they taste.

I've realized that life doesn't suddenly become beautiful someday.

It becomes beautiful in the little choices we make every day.

And honestly?

I think that's something worth remembering.
