I don’t care for these things. I only care about my mental health ---

I would say don’t dwell on negative things. Don’t count what I don’t have, but count what I still have. At least we have a lot of SZ friends on this site. ---

Like @Om_Sadasiva i don’t care about having a partner or a job, i just care about the ability to feel joy, not all the time, but at least in moments. I struggle with depression. But if i was younger (i’m 56) i would be more interested in having a job a partner etc. ---

I remember going to my cousins house and she had that book, wish it want it do it. And she’s successful. I thought, what the hell. Why keep reading self help books when you’ve already arrived. It’s the will. It’s never enough. If you’re happy now, will you be happy in the future? It’s like our minds ruin the moment. Good things. ---
