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.
What was the event that was a turn around point to instigate this realization?
It was really more of a gradual change, that only this year truly have I become to consciously appreciate and understand what it is I have. I’d say it happened after getting close with colleagues I work with at my not-so-new-anymore job, learning how much in common we really have and having some perspective brought on me by all the people I’ve met and spoken with through the years. Friends, romantics, and even the things I’ve learned from enemies and similar experiences… All of that added together has made me the best version of myself I’ve ever been and I only strive to improve that further.
