How To Romanticize Your Life || Being the Main Character of Your Life 🌷

“You have to start romanticizing your life. You have to start thinking of yourself as the main character. Because if you don’t, life will continue to pass you by. And all the little things that make it so beautiful, will continue to go unnoticed. So take a second, and look around, and realize that it’s a blessing for you to be here right now”

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing some of the ways that I romanticize my life, along with tips for how to be happier and appreciate the little things :) I often think of my life as a movie, and I have started to remind myself that I am the main character of my life. I've started to focus more on living in the moment, and appreciating the little things. There's no secret to romanticizing life. It's just about viewing the world with a bit of added magic and actively trying to be enchanted by your daily life :)
I hope you enjoy the video and cottagecore/light academia vibes! Sending you a warm virtual hug and some homemade chocolate chip cookies! 💗
