RE: Minimalism & Mid Year Reset

Somewhere along the way, this year for the first time ever I stopped living based on my own personal meaning rather than what my family or environment expects of me.

If these two are different, then that is bad.

At least your family should be supportive.

And everyone should live how they like, and not what others are expecting from them.

When you’re living in an auto-pilot mode, life becomes a bit dull, and you no longer see/feel there is something to live for.

If you no longer see/feel that there is something to live for, then that is not auto-pilot mode, but depression and dysthymia (the chronic, long lasting form of depression).

I know, because I was diagnosed with dysthymia as a child, and I lived like that for years. There was no real happiness in my life, and I was not interested in nothing.

This is why just as I mentioned over my intro to july, I want to be living more mindfully and intentionally. For once, I want to be more conscious of my actions, choices and even as simple of remembering the day and date.

Findig true love, true happiness, generally something to live for does not necessarily require any of this. You can do that on auto-pilot mode too, if you know what it is. Maybe a technical hobby/lifestyle, maybe living with an animal. Either way, there are many beautiful things, and I really hope that you will find what makes you actually truly happy. Something that you love. Something that you live for.
