An Easy Life
Please when did we all agree that suffering and hustle is the only way. Please I just want softness, I want it easy, why can't everything just be easy
Hi Hivers, it's Abeegail, welcome to my blog. It's my first time posting in this community, i hope I'm welcomed. I don't know about you but I want an easy life, I want softness. I want everything handed to me with little or no effort, I don't want to prove myself anymore, I don't want to work hard. I don't even want to get out of the bed most of the times. I want things handed to just because I'm alive, because I exist.
I don't know how we started to glorifying suffering, why do we want to do too much all the time. Truthfully I don't want to hustle or grind. I don't want to wake up at 5:00 am anymore and pretend my life is coming together because I'm “disciplining myself.” it's crazy how we've now romanticize being exhausted, not sleeping for two days is seen as an achievement. I know I might sound lazy but wanting things to be easy shouldn't be seen as laziness because most of the times I'm just tired of pretending and pushing on. I'm tiirrreeed...........I really am, I'm tired of the constant hustle and grind just to continue living up to standard. I don't know if I'm just burnt out and need a reset but I'm just exhausted.
An easy life is one where I'm not snowballing between my mental health and how productive I've been. It's living on my own pace, it's a life where rest is a normal thing and peace isn't something I've to work for or prove I deserve. This doesn't mean I won't work hard or I won't do things I'm passionate about, it just means I won't stress or suffer just because or unnecessarily. I won't romanticize suffering, neither will I worship stress. I'm done idolizing difficultly. So forgive me for wanting peace and softness in a world that makes you work for it.
Call me unrealistic, leave me in my delusions. I’ll be in there, choosing the soft life and ease.
It's Still Abeegail,

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger", "the north wind made the Vikings", etc, are just reminders that struggle and discomfort are good fertilizers for personal growth. But there are types of suffering that make you weaker and destroy you - you are right.
It's the same with inspiration - hard times teach you real things and make you a better poet or writer. But extreme poverty, being chronically afraid of starvation every day, normally destroys inspiration and leads a person to moral degradation. Just finished this book - it's right about this: a poet decided to wage war against the cult of money and ended up becoming an impoverished neurotic who couldn't write poetry.
Many of us dream about this...
I hope you will find the peace you desire.
Sending great vibes and Ecency votes your way.
Welcome to the community it’s good to have you here.
Making life comfortable is really important. Easy can be good and I think we shouldn’t focus on just having it easy though. We do really well when we have challenges in life!
