The Art of Romanticising Your Life

We are living a 24/7 busy life where sometimes our time is not enough in this world. Life is very demanding with so much stuffs to be done. There are so many things we need to deal with every single day of our lives. Whether it is work, school, love life, passions, personal life and the list never ends. We are rushing to get things done on time but the question is, Is this how the world totally spins? Is there no other way to live?

The Dictionary defined Romanticising as "believing something is better, more interesting, or more exciting than it really is." It is not to detach you from the reality but it is to add your life a little bit of color. Cliche as it might sound but life is plainly colorless without the thought of seeing it in a different perspectives, in appreciating things that others don't find necessary, being excited about things that most people don't feel excited at.

There is a saying that "if you love life, life will love you back." It might sound flowery but it is true. How can we enjoy life if we never loved it in the first place? This is how romanticization comes. We start to see life in a different way and in a different perspectives. We don't see life as it is. We see life the way we want to see it.

Fall in love with your life.

We are stuck in a world where everything is almost redundant. We wake up, we eat, we work and the cycle repeats. Life becomes monotonous and we feel that we are only born to function and do the basic things until we die. But life doesn't have to be that way. We can create the life we desire, embrace new things and explore different things until we die. I think it's not bad to live a different life from others, especially if you feel happy and alive living that way.

"You gotta start romanticizing your life. You gotta start believing that your morning commute is cute and fun, that every cup of coffee is the best you've ever had. That even the smallest and most mundane things are exciting and new, because that's when you start truly living."

This is how I started romanticizing my own life,

•Listening to the songs that make me feel alive

Sometimes life make us numb or something dead but gladly, I do not feel that way. Everytime I want to escape from the reality we are living in, I just listen to different songs that make me feel that this is the life I am living in.

•I watch movies to make me feel that I am somewhat living

I don't have to stay on the same page watching the same scenery and situation. I can watch a movie where I can bring myself inside of what I watch. This is how I want to distract myself and this is how I want to change the way I see life.

•I talk to different people because they are part of my journey

I used to be scared talking to different people because I am afraid of what they might think of me but now, it doesn't seem to matter anymore. For every people I met and encounter, I think that they are the one who give me a different perspectives or I could be the one who will change their perspectives.

•I believe in the beauty of life

While you might find this statement something cringe but there is truly beauty in life. There is magnificence and pureness within. We only say life is ugly when the reality we sees become so hard but I do not like to focus on that, I like to focus on the things that makes life totally worth living.

Life is not perfect and life is not a set of crayons where you can color it the way you want. Life is full of imperfections, struggles and pain but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy or live a life the way we want. We have the choice to focus on those things or to change the way we see them. I would like to focus seeing the good things over the bad things. I would like to romanticised my life forever.
