22 years ago when I realized I'd lost everything that mattered to me.My parents were gone, my ex girlfriend/ best friend moved to the other side of the country ( Australia, so that's a long way!), my other best friend ( who was like a little sister to me) also moved away, I pretty well lost everything... but found myself..... I discovered that being alone gave me the freedom , to be myself, for the first time in my life....

This doesn't seem big but when I was dealing with/recovering from depression. I think I was in a low time and that affected me but when I was starting to feel better I started going on walks and stuff and it helped me realize how much I take for granted and how beautiful life can be.

When I realized that no matter how much I tried to fit in for acceptance, the people I was trying to be friends with would never accept me, so I made friends with people that did accept me. 3 years later, and I couldn't be happier.

People who accepts you for who you are, are the best kind of people.

A few months ago, I was trying to find my true authentic self, and I was really surprised that it was under my feet the whole time, and my true authentic self didn’t want to be hidden away from the world anymore, because it flooded my body like a tsunami, and it forced my old identity out. I know who I truly am now, and his name is Charlie.

Anyone who tried to get you to like them by making you jealous underestimates both themself and you. That will never be healthy. That's a fair red flag.
