Alright, let’s get real for a second. The older we get, the more we realize life isn’t about the endless drama or keeping up with the Joneses (seriously, who are they, and why do they have so much stuff?). Nope. Life is about the little things—like laughing so hard you snort, eating carbs unapologetically, and finding socks that actually match.
You know that phase in your 20s where you thought you’d be “somebody”? Yeah, me too. Turns out, being somebody means you have clean pajamas and a fridge with at least one vegetable that hasn’t gone mushy. Success!
Think about it: good friends who love you even when you’re wearing yesterday’s sweatpants, a cozy home where your couch knows the exact contour of your butt, and food that makes your taste buds do a happy dance. That’s peak happiness right there. No yacht required.
And laughter—oh, the sweet sound of wheezing after someone trips over nothing (yes, I’m looking at you). It’s free, it’s contagious, and it burns calories. Basically, nature’s gym membership.
So, forget the endless chase for “more.” Who needs it? Life is about the things money can’t buy—like the look your dog gives you when you drop food or the sheer joy of finally pulling a clean spoon out of the drawer on the first try.
Remember, my friends, the drama will fade, but the memory of you eating an entire cake with a fork straight from the tin will live forever. Let’s toast to the simple joys and the sweet, hilarious chaos of life. And maybe, just maybe, let’s have dessert first.
