“That’s it? Just pepperoni? You don’t want any other toppings?”
“Pepperoni is all I want. I like my pizza simple.” I like simple.

Just then and there, “simple” spoke loudly from within. I’ve told myself multiple times before that I prefer to live simply, but this time struck me differently.

Life is as complicated as we make it to be, but what I want is a simple life.

And so there I was, eating a slice of pepperoni pizza on a plain table in a donut shop, enjoying each bite as I take in the timeless atmosphere around me. So thank you, pepperoni pizza, for helping me identify my value of simplicity.
