Hello, a few weeks back I wrote this: https://www.reddit.com/r/simpleliving/comments/9lhad6/20yo_starting_to_discover_the_joy_of_a_simple_life/?st=JNXYWQT6&sh=9c962ad3
I am 20 years old, about to finish my Bachelor in CS. I wanna share something with you guys, and I'm sorry if this is not the right community to do so.
I have been reflecting a lot about life lately, what I want out of it and what I don't. I have noticed that every day I care about fewer things, and fewer people. It's liberating but also scary. For example, I value my friends, and I love them, but I feel that if they were to stop talking to me, or they betrayed me, I simply would go on with my life and not stress out about it that much.
Even if my parents decide to not support me in my life decisions, which they probably won't, I won't care. I will continue down my path even if nobody is there with me. Before, I would stress so much about my relationship working out. Now, If things go bad, I will simply find a better man, and if I don't it's fine too. I feel so free.
I don't want to let anybody take away my joy of just being, of living a life with the essentials and full of gratitude for the little things. I feel that nobody has the power to take that away from me anymore. Maybe this is obvious to you, but I have realized that up to this point I gave people this power without me realizing it.
Tell me your thoughts on this. Am I being selfish, heartless? And excuse me if this makes no sense at all, I had a long Halloween day. Happy Halloween!
