I've had it with taking life too seriously

[hanselthecaretaker]

there is a difference between taking life seriously and being a slave to your "fears".

i need to do more of the first and less of the second

This is true to an extent. But with me taking life too seriously means doing a lot of thinking which manifests all that is wrong with the world and how it can affect/is affecting me and mine, and how I think it could be changed for the better, then realizing how far off that is from happening and etc. etc.
Also, in order to conquer your fears you need to have a plan. Otherwise you are little more than foolhardy.

i agree. as for me and other stuff around me affecting my wellbeing, im just starting a period of trying to be more selfish to see if that makes life better/funner

I'd say the ultimate definition of maturity would be going through life with no hard feelings, leaving nearly as innocent as you came in. There's a lot to be said about peace of mind.

Yeah I've learned the same thing. Analyzing every aspect of a friendship/relationship/etc., as introspective as it may be, can kinda take the fun out of it.

It could drive you crazy, since you'll never really know.

This statement helped me out a lot bro. Nice reading something with true depth sometimes...
