It’s easy to live life for the euphoric high points. Weekend getaways, summer nights, debaucherous occasions with friends. They make us feel alive.
Some people mistake these moments for “life”, for the point of it all. They work to manufacture this euphoria at all costs. They live their days in anticipation of the next high.
Inevitably, life regresses to the mean. We return to the moments in between. In these moments, truth descends upon us. We can live life to manufacture the high points, or we can focus on leading a life where the moments in between are fulfilling and rich. I’m of the opinion that, if we live our life for the moments in between, the highs are more authentic and beautiful too.
