After being miserable and ungrateful for things almost my whole life, I finally feel like my life is consistently great. I really think I realize now how amazing my life has always been, but how focused i was on the shit that didnt matter - the stuff that was temporary. I spent my time worrying about all of it instead of focusing on what I had. I’ve experienced so much in such little time and have so much more yet to, and I’ve never been more grateful, excited, at times fearful but eager for it all. I love my life.

    Similar boat. A lifetime of off and on depression, manic episodes, the works. Finally in control, stable, emotionally mature, and happy. Cheers! Very happy for you.

    All right, what is one of the experiences that you had when you talk about experiencing so much in so little time that had a profound effect in some way? Also, pineapple on pizza yay or nay? (There is a wrong answer where we can’t be pals. Jk, but I will judge you.)

      Glad to hear of your advancements as well :)

      Something that I’ve started to look back on just a few years ago is being able to go to many places around the world as a child. My parents were almost always able to take a vacation for ~ 2 weeks a year. We’d almost always go a new place, I’ve been to several islands and across new countries. I’ve been on ultra long road trips and plane rides. As that started to die off, going through my life and all the way to now - totally moved out and adulting on my own like everyone else - I really start to appreciate those memories. And i have so very many pictures of those memeries and of the places ive been able to see.

      Anyway, to the important question: pineapple complements specifically a sweeter sauce. I’m into it!
