We all accept too easily that life has to be hard and forget to make sure we have the most fun we can.

The day-to-day grind of just existing can feel like it takes up all our energy. When we get caught up in the minutiae of our busy schedules, we sometimes forget to stop and enjoy life, rather than just working our way through it. In her hilarious and deeply human memoir "The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo," comedian Amy Schumer urges us to make things easier on ourselves by seeking out the fun moments that are all around. Whether it means tossing aside the to-do list on a beautiful day, treating ourselves to that ice cream with a friend, or just allowing a minute to watch those TikToks that make us laugh, it is always worth the time it takes to do the things that make our lives happier.
