"High highs, low lows. I guess that's better than beige."
How I did it: Throwing myself into things. Taking risks. Doing things that made me feel a bit nervous/uncomfortable at times.
It's weird. I feel that I've achieved this goal, but at the same time feel a little empty. With the highs have come some very strange times, that find me questioning everything. I'm not sure I understand it, or anything at all. Because I'm still sure I'm doing the right things, that I'm on the right path. Things seem a little bit fated, in a way. And I'm having a blast. But I suppose when you open yourself up to the good in life, you open yourself up to feeling life in general, and with that comes a level of uncertainty and confusion. I wouldn't go back to how things were, I just feel that maybe I need to find a therapist??
Lessons & tips: Have an attitude of 'why not', rather than 'why?'. Some of the greatest things happen unexpectedly, and sometimes when you're willing to let go of a bit of ego.
Resources: I used a journal for a while. It helped me figure things out to a place that now I'm so busy (in a good way), that I feel like I don't have time to use it very much anymore. But I still go back to it occasionally.
