You need boredom. A lot of it. Start by going on walks without music. No stimulation. No distractions of any kind. If you learn to sit with your own thoughts, for long enough, in time they will start serving you. You'll start having ideas once again. You'll start developing an extreme sense of clarity that will shift you into the next stage of your life. All by being bored, which is pretty insane.
How messed up must your life be if, when you encounter someone's genuine kindness, your first thought is about how you must have "finessed" the true generosity of someone who had absolutely nothing to lose by helping you? 🙂
I might get canceled for saying this...
But eternity is a whole lot longer than the few years we spend on earth.
One day every knee will bow.
Every tongue will confess.
And every excuse will run out.
Jesus Christ is Lord.
Think about that.
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

I used to criticize people who were devoted to their Christian faith.
Those who never wanted anything to do with secular music, random relationships and so many "normal" things an average human does all the time.
I thought they weren't free, that they are living in set out rules that are complicating their lives.
Not until i fell into deep struggles and was looking out for hope. That is when i encountered Jesus Christ.
I was lost, empty and wandering down a terrible path society told me to follow. I thought i was living in freedom, but my life was heading to death.
I was deep in lust and addictions, it almost ruined my life, but Jesus pulled me out of that pit.
Now i understand why they had to live that way. This is a life of peace and not every human can boast of it. Knowing Jesus is like holding an answer sheet next to your question paper.
My life changed entirely, and now I'm living clean with peace and understanding. Now all i want to do is protect my peace by all means, by rejecting whatever society presents.
I'm afraid I've become what i once criticized 😩
You should have things you don't do, places you don't go to, substances you don't take, words you don't say
By all means, have Principles and Standards.
