Friends, drinks and making a conscious choice for a balance in life

I think it is important to make a conscious choice to have some kind of balance of what your everyday life should contain. At least it is for me. When I say a conscious choice it is because when you are younger that balance comes more naturally. You generally dont have as many commitments, obligations and “must do´s” so life just balance it out for you.
As you get older, you generally have a job, and a family. that all requires a certain repetitive actions. Just to function and get things done. So therefore at least I have decided to consciously make time to see my friends. Book in night where we go out having drinks, enjoy the city, new hotels, great restaurants and fun cocktail bars.

Do not get me wrong, I LOVE my everyday life. Every time I go out, I come home and feel deep appreciation for my family and my everyday life. Not because we did not have a great time – we always do. But its the balance that makes all of them so much more enjoyable.

It feels like since I could I have gone out. Out dancing, drinks, traveling and just having a good time with my friends was so common in my life that I could go a very long time without it now and still feel satisfied from all my experiences. I was never a party animal or into drinking alot. I think I just loved new experiences and being around fun people alot. Therefore now I really NEED to make a conscious choice and book something in every now and then. Otherwise I just never go out at all hahah
