When Simple Starts Feeling Hard

When I was still very young, I thought that everything would continue to be like that, very easy and simple with zero stress, but as I am becoming older, it is the other way around, I must say. Some things are getting more complicated than I imagined.

At this stage of my life, I find myself wanting simple things like a very peaceful evening with no stress at all. No headaches, just a free mind with zero worries. Getting things done easily without me having to overthink it always feels like a huge win.

Back then and with what I saw around, I thought that doing complex things means that the person will always be making progress, like if a task was hard, it must be important. But now I know better, and I have gotten to know that it is not how life works. Because now, simple tasks give me a clearer path and enough strength, like not rushing things, being steady and calm, saying less. It doesn't look easy, though. Because the world we are in today tends to celebrate stress more than doing simple things because, to them, it might look like someone is not doing anything.

Thank you for reading.
