After being miserable and ungrateful for things almost my whole life, I finally feel like my life is consistently great. I really think I realize now how amazing my life has always been, but how focused i was on the shit that didnt matter - the stuff that was temporary. I spent my time worrying about all of it instead of focusing on what I had. I’ve experienced so much in such little time and have so much more yet to, and I’ve never been more grateful, excited, at times fearful but eager for it all. I love my life.
For me, I think it’s just a distinction I’ve made in my mind. The world is not bad, it is wonderful and beautiful, but the people on it are bad. Specific people consistently too will always be there to ruin it and progressively destroy it around those who simply wish to live peacefully. Its not that I’ve no care in the world or ignore issues as they pertain to me policitally, but I do everything in my power to push things towards what I believe is right, and I separate and acknowledge the things I cannot do anything about. We as people can only do so much and if you do anything towards what you truly believe in? I think thats better than most. In the interim, it’s about putting those things to the side and living in the present moment, saving the introspection and political concerns for another time.
That sounds like a good attitude, I’m proud of you! I hope I can learn to do the same.
