I stopped caring about the outcome… now I’m free.
So, the thing that lifts misery is not giving a f**k.
Everything I ever did, considered, pondered, debated, and acted on– all of it was in the name of this vision I had for my life. I was Thanos-serious, even as a youngling. The irony is this vision sucked the joy from every moment—

I’m doing what I want to do, learning about and pursuing my interests, and pushing myself. My training is better than it’s ever been, my writing improving, and I’ve got a future I can see and build towards.
Outside of these things, I’m good. Nothing else is my business (not mine to worry about).
My life keeps getting better, because I’m getting better at playing.

You’re not too busy to start, starting is small.
