When You Have Simple Desires

Ok, I wanted to pop on here to square away a few things! I am a woman with very simple desires, and an even simpler life and lifestyle. I make art and read….all day! And sometimes I write books. That is my life. Occasionally I leave the house to pick up dinners or listen to Coast to Coast AM. But that is my life. Super small and simple!

It is perfectly alright to have simple desires! Sometimes, especially because of social media, it can feel like you have to have a fancy life. Or have all the stuff that makes a life feel full or important. Or cross all the boxes off your checklist for what makes you feel better about yourself, and wins the approval of people online.

When I was growing up, there was no internet. I was an eighties kid! I had all the books on record, barbies and was very into cabbage patch. I played nintendo on a used machine. I had a great childhood in that I was deeply entertained with a simple life! I’m still that way today. Sometimes it feels like wrong or not good enough to have a simple life.

I’m going to share something a lot of people might not know. I have social anxiety. There I said it! For me a Friday night is great just chilling at home. I’m cool with it.

I guess I’m writing this because I’ve been struggling ever since I got sick, with an identity crisis. My life changed a lot! But at the heart I am still the same. Maybe a simple life is where it’s at! And you don’t have to prove yourself by doing ALL the things. Maybe just for today it is ok to rest. And restore. And let that be enough!
