Be at peace with myself

I realize that the way I can be at peace with myself is to live my life according to what I believe, respecting my feelings, following what I think is right for me.

I guess as pretty much most teenagers I’ve had my period when I felt out of place and I’ve tried to fit in, but the problem with that was not feeling out of place, but trying to fit in, because it’s pretty much as if I HAD to be someone I wasn’t to please people, or to be accepted.

Today, two years after I’ve set this goal I realize that it doesn’t matter if you’re different, it doesn’t matter if the sistem doesn’t fit you, what matters is that you feel comfortable being who YOU are and not trying to be what people want you to be. What matters is that you do what you love, no matter how crazy it feels to people and as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone either.

I can honestly say that this is one of the goals, I never thought I’d accomplish but you know what, I am at peace with myself. I’ll always have problems, it’s not the problems that will define if I’m at peace. I’m human not a robot, I will feel confused, scared, lost,... all these human feelings that surround our existence and the point is that these feelings or problems will help me learn and grow, always, no matter how painful they might be, or how hopeless I can get. Also,they will probably help me learn how to help someone else some day

Being at peace is feeling you’re in the right place, in the right time, living YOUR life. Living in the present and being you, whatever that might mean.

Feel like this goal is really connected with some other ones in my list, because it’s hard to get one and not get the others.
I think, I need to respect myself more first, because I always put people before me and some of them just take advantage of the situation, what makes me feel like crap, ‘cause even valuing the lives of others more than my own, I can’t get it right…
I also need to regain my optimism, so I can see through the dark clouds and don’t blame me eternally for some things…
Keep trying.

need to accept that sometimes I will make mistakes, bad decisions, and it’s okay to do this, ‘cause that’s the best way to learn.
Need to let the past be in the past and stop blaming myself, stop being so hard on myself.
Accept myself for who I am, and don’t try to be like any other person.
Need to believe in myself like I once did.
