joie de vivre

i like to think it’s what i live for, the enjoyment of life. to pursue and relish in the endless stream of whimsy and joy the world can offer. it can often feel sisyphean to be this way, amidst struggle, stress, or sorrow. yet it would be a shame to pass up this short time we are granted on this plane. i do find enjoyment, wonder, and love in everything, it’s probably what i’m most proud of. it’s a romantic world if you want it to be.
