Looking back on how I’ve lived my life, I never imagined I’d reach this point of realization. My life isn’t perfect, but I can honestly say that where I am now is far better than where I was before. I feel happier than I’ve ever been—or maybe I’ve just learned to appreciate life more in general.
A lot has changed, especially in how I see life. My perspective on what truly matters has shifted. The things I once thought I couldn’t live without now seem almost embarrassing to look back on. I’ve always considered myself a simple person, but now I appreciate the beauty of living simply even more.
Of course, I’m still struggling with certain aspects of my life, but I’ve become more positive—or perhaps just more realistic. I’ve learned the beauty of acceptance: if things go as planned, great! And if not, well, better luck next time—on to the next.
I understand myself so much better now. I’ve gained more clarity about what I truly like, what’s okay, and what’s not. It’s funny how the things I used to give so much attention to no longer seem important at all.
