Life Isn’t Simple Anymore — But I Know How to Be

Life isn’t simple anymore.

Not the way it used to be.

The world moves faster now. Louder. Everyone wants a piece of your attention, your time, your energy. There’s always something to respond to, react to, prepare for. Sometimes it feels like rest has to be scheduled instead of naturally happening.

But here’s what I’ve learned along the way…

Even though life isn’t simple anymore — I know how to be.

I know how to slow myself down.

I know how to choose quiet when noise is optional.

I know how to savor a warm cup of coffee, a patch of sunlight, a moment of stillness that doesn’t ask me for anything.

I know how to set boundaries that protect my peace.

I know how to be present.

I know when to step back, breathe, and let life unfold without forcing it.

That simplicity I miss?

It didn’t disappear.

It matured.

It lives in how I move through the world now — with intention, awareness, and gratitude for what truly matters.

And that… is its own kind of beautiful.
