I’m more free than I used to be, yet freedom comes with full responsibility for my choices. Sometimes I miss the days when decisions were made for me.
I don’t treat relationships like a competition. “Falling behind” is just a social narrative. I only keep a tiny core circle. Other connections are built on mutual value, and I cut off contact with anyone who shows disrespect.
What truly counts is living the life you actually want. That’s the life philosophy I built through all my choices.
