What Is To Live Your Best Life?
I am still trying to figure what is my best life, or any life I can live with intention
In 2019, I had a co-worker much younger than me. I was turning 30, she was 23. I remember that almost every day she would comment on how a celebrity was living her best life. We all worked in magazine publishing.
Sometimes, she would say: Oh Tam, you are living your best life! I never understood that because I was feeling miserable at the time.
On paper, I guess it looked like I was living my best life: I had a job that paid more than I have ever been paid in my life, I was a content writer for female publications in one of the biggest publishing houses in the UK and Europe, I was living on my own in a studio flat in London, I was travelling around Europe, I was buying new clothes, shoes, and bags often, I was eating out frequently, I was a single lady going on dates and out and about with friends.
But I wasn’t conscious of my life. I was living without intention.
I was often late to get to work, I didn’t exercise, neither took care of my body, I was drinking my feelings. I felt lonely…
