The art of not giving a F*** (mental health)

That sums up how I've learned to deal with my life. I've extremely uncomfortable around people-as in, I don't get the whole humans are social creatures thing. I like dealing with people for short times, I like talking with people, but I have incredible difficulties in wanting and maintaining friendships. The few things I recall as a child were trying to be by myself, wishing I didn't have to play with others so long. I've learned to tolerate that through the years, and find my own ways to may it benefit me, and to come across to others in a positive way instead of seeming anti-social.
It doesn't benefit me to simply work towards goals if the everyday isn't fulfilling. How do you ever really know when you get to that goal when times change in the meanwhile? When you change in the meanwhile?
Isn't this just another way of saying live for the moment? When you can't change what's around you sometimes you just have to change what you focus on-unless it's things literally controlling you, like pain
Life is like water and you don't get anywhere if you don't keep swimming

I thought that was pretty spot on. The parts about being willing to fail and accepting that you have to suffer to attain anything worthwhile were excellent points of view, imho. Good lessons those of us going against societal conventions with our diets.
