‘Not giving a damn’ might be one of the greatest skills it is possible to develop. (I’m still working on it myself.)
When I say not giving a damn, I don’t mean stop caring full stop. Far from it. I mean caring *intensely about *what matters and not giving a damn about the rest. Particularly about other people trying to tell you what’s important.
Don’t let anyone else dictate what you want. Because only you can see that for certain. You have a duty to yourself. A duty to reflect and figure out what matters to you.
Maybe you don’t know what you want in the future, or where your life is going. I certainly don’t. It doesn’t matter.
Find what you value *right at this moment. *Everyone has something or somethings. Maybe someone(s).
Then dig in your heels and fight for it.
Fight, damn you, fight.
Focus on the little things that aren’t so little. Anything and everything that makes your mind or heart sing.
Some things are worth fighting for. And maybe definitely they’re the only things worth anything.
The rest will figure itself out.
Until tommorow.
