Squeezing the Life Out Of Life

Happy April 1st! Did you celebrate April Fool's? I saw a lot of relationship status changes, fake news, and fake fights on my Facebook feed today. Honestly, I wasn't even sure if it was safe to believe anyone at that point - at least for this day. But it's been a fun day! And, I have to say, my favorite April Fool's treat is from Google, wherein they scattered 150 Pokemons around the world on the GoogleMaps app and have challenged users to "catch 'em all" to earn the title of "Pokemon Master". SO. MUCH. CHILDHOOD. FEELS. I'm actually still trying to complete my list. ;)

Going back to April, I can't believe how quickly the year is going by. I feel like I keep saying the same thing each time we begin a new month, but one can't help but feel like moments are coming and going too quickly. Experiences are happening too swiftly. But I think the important thing is to fully absorb each moment regardless of how quick or slow it comes by.

Traveling and meeting people from different parts of the globe has truly made me feel like I am not "squeezing the life out" of life enough. Does that make sense? We are given so many opportunities to maximize being alive, but we let fear and mundane get in the way of potentially extraordinary experiences.

After realizing this, I have been trying to make a more conscious effort to allow myself to experience moments by putting down my phone and enjoying the view, going offline and going out for a walk, and striking up a conversation with people who seem interesting.

Life isn't so bad when you allow yourself to detach from what's keeping you from the good. ;)
