I’ve never believed in the idea of romanticizing your life—because I believe it causes us to create false expectations, false realities, and leaves us feeling helpless and a little deflated.

Wrong; it's about deriving pleasure from the mundane, and encouraging yourself to step outside your comfort zone in favor of living those experiences you would typically perceive to be out of reach or outside the realm of your own reality.

Honoring your life, to me, means grabbing your current reality exactly as it is, and finding a way to elevate it.
