I'm less stressed than I've been in years. I think this is where I finally set to figuring out who I want to be.

[I Choose Joy @_mormonconvert_]

I know, I know, it's no big deal...

But it's been a game changer for me.

And then I realized, it could apply to all things.

I let go of that, to give me more time to focus on my priorities. Sometimes I cringe at it, that's fine. But it's a small thing that only I will notice.

But the second one, allowing imperfections, has helped me exponentially.

I know it sounds silly, but it was even just little things at work. Accidentally write slantedly on a card? Rewrite it. Need to make a line for some reason? Time to break out the tape and make it perfect.

The first thing has been more of an outward goal, of course.

[I Choose Joy @_mormonconvert_]

These last few months I've been focusing on two things.
1. Complimenting anyone/anything verbally if I think it. Even if it sounds dumb.
2. Allow imperfections.

Of course I want to be cool and have everyone like me. But so much constantly changes, and to be hung up on the idea of what others think of you is suffocating.

Things have been... odd the last few years. It's hard to juggle between what I assume people want me to be with who I honestly don't even know who I am?

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

But I think it's time for me to go.

I believe there are still good components of the TS here somewhere.

It doesn't matter if I feel like I should defend someone I barely know on social media anymore.

It does me no good to reminisce over collections of 140 characters.

It's gone and I have to let go of it.
