My outlook on life has really changed a lot in the last four years, even more in the last 2 years. I am not so intense and uptight about everything. I take things as they come and roll with them. I realize that you can't control everything, that things don't always go your way. It isn't worth the time and energy to stress over things. You need to get out and enjoy life. What's the point of life if all you do is worry and stress and you don't have fun?
That is what my life used to be. I worked all the time. Never did anything for fun, didn't have time. I worked myself to the ground. Worried and stressed all the time. I worked to please people, I wanted to do right by everyone. I had a lot of responsibility and I took it seriously. I would blow off friends and different activities so that I could work or just be alone because I was always so exhausted. I became depressed and upset because of what my life had become.
If I learned anything from the last two years of my life it is that you can't take yourself seriously all the time. You can't work yourself to the ground; you don't get anything from that. Yes, work hard, take responsibility seriously. But don't make that your life. Laugh at things, if things don't go your way, it is okay. Take time just for fun. Go out and do something just for the fun of it. If you don't enjoy life there is really no point.
