Stop Taking Everything So Seriously

It’s easy to say and much harder to do.

I have a coworker with who I always enjoy working. She’s sweet, kind, and funny.She’s the kind of person who makes jokes all day long and is always looking for a laugh.She has sass up the wazoo, and every time we work together, we make jokes and laugh.There’s never a serious day between the two of us. One day she told me

Life is more fun when you take it silly.

And it’s true.We take life too seriously. We don’t have enough fun.Especially when it comes to my writing — I’m always trying to make it perfect and professional when that’s not what writing is about.The goal is not perfection, but to have fun. And if you’re not having fun, then why are you doing it?
