“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.” - Confucius
Why is it so hard to just simply tell someone that you miss them and getting actually the chance to see them. Why is it so hard to open up to someone without being afraid of getting hurt. Why did it become so hard to say how you really feel about someone?
I wonder when did life get so complicated. Is it a rule that the older you get, the more complicated things become? Or do we do that to ourselves. Is it the increase of responsibilities that does this to us or we are just programmed to feel this way.
I just wish life is now as simple as it used to be when I was younger. No problems or crowded brains with suffocating thoughts. Sleeping peacefully at night, and waking up with a clear mind in the morning.
I think we all want to live a simpler life but the people around us are not helping. It's either your boss at work or your family at home, your husband, your children, your neighbors. Some people unfortunately complicate our lives unintentionally but they do and sometimes you just can't escape those people or even tell them that they are actually making your life harder. So I guess leading a simple life does not depend on you but on the people around you as well.
Anyhow, I still think that one should do everything possible to keep his life as much simple as possible by trying to do the simple things that used to make him happy over and over again. Reading a good book, drinking a hot cup of coffee, waking up with a big smile in the morning, seeing an old friend, buying yourself a gift every now and then, making someone else happy, playing with your pet, .... etc
These things are simple pleasures that people should always remember to do.
These things make life simpler!
