How to reinvent myself by timps10

"I stopped stressing out, stopped depending on other people so much, and started enjoying the act of living."

How I did it: Well, it started with a truly awful weekend. From there, I had to reassess things, and came to the realization that you can't rely on others too much, or you're setting yourself up for sadness and disappointment, because the people in my life just don't care about each other the way they should.
From there, I started working on just laughing and smiling and feeling alive because of me, not because 1,2,3 have worked out or because of someone else's kindness towards me. This led me to RELAX and start enjoying the moments. After that, I felt immensely CALM and HAPPY and able to do the things I need to do without complaint or bad feelings and do the things I enjoy and actually enjoy them. I feel more tuned in, more calm, and more capable.

Lessons & tips: Be an existentialist. Find a way to exist on your own terms, taking responsibility for things and also just being the real you in this world of the many innocuous compromises.
