We were told to want an epic life.

Adventurous job. Sprawling home. Michelin star dinners. Movie meet cute. Flowers every Wednesday. 6 figure wedding.

Jaw dropping. Breathtaking. Once in a lifetime. Epic.

I don’t think an “epic life” means what we were told it means.

Epic isn’t actually found in grand gestures or excess.

“Epic” lives in the small stuff; the mundane parts of our world that prove love exists.

It’s epic the bartender knows to keep the tab open. It’s epic splitting the G on the first try. It’s epic that his hand always finds its way into yours. It’s epic the fridge is covered in Polaroids that wouldn’t exist if you hadn’t met.

We were told to want an epic life; how extraordinary it is to realize you’ve already got one.
