This was all very inspiring. I am 23 years old and even though I know I still have plenty of years to learn, grow, and experience new things I’m struggeling so much to find my happiness. I feel as if I’ve gone through so much, so fast that I just can’t seem to catch my breath. It’s a scary rollercoaster with big drops that I can’t seem to get off of. I have a probelm with over analyzing and I’m in my head so much that I feel like I’m actually forcing myself to go crazy and I scare myself. My mind and thoughts are constantly just pulling back and forth, positivity fighting negativity. And I cant ever just be at ease. I’m glad i stumbled across tinybuddha and when I feel like I’m alone I can see that I AM NOT ALONE. Life is a struggle and it’s hard. I just want peace and happiness for myself and for everyone. I don’t want any negativity for myself or for anyone. I realized that I have to stop lying to myself and stop lying to everyone else that I’m a positve person when I REALLY NEED TO BE POSITIVE and have compassion and peace. I have to stop “acting” like it and start doing it. Everyone on here had so many inspiring and kind words. I’m glad I can come here and learn from everyone. You all are amazing people !
