How the Easy Life Can Destroy You

/in , /by

There’s a post I saw this week that really struck me and it goes like this:

“Strangely, life gets harder when you try to make it easy.

Exercising might be hard, but never moving makes life harder.

I took acid for the first time last year and had a pretty crazy realization about life and how mind-blowing it actually is, despite all the ups and downs we have to go through over and over again. Despite the obstacles being truly endless.
