How I did it: let go of everything you've learned about how to fit in, how to look "good", how to act, what is ugly and beautiful, etc etc. i live in the bay area so beauty is easily all around me, no matter where i go. with nothing but a few nickels in my pocket, i wander sf and berkeley many days and just appreciate the acceptance and beauty of everything. i am also an actor and learning and seeing things through characters i played did a lot for me too. =)

Lessons & tips: countless people say "don't judge anybody" or "i never judge" but everyone does in some way. just remember that everyone is a person with a heart, soul, and mind. there is reason behind everything even if the reasoning is dumb to you. instead of being insulted or offended by others' lifestyles, i've become intrigued by what makes each of us different. i think the most important thing is to remember that art is everything, whether you think it's beautiful or not. you are one with everyone and everything and you are not better than anyone or anything.
