Happy that you found peace, many fail at the attempt to find it out of fear of damnation, if only they would look within themselves to see the turmoil rotting their Soul, maybe understanding others will be easier by knowing themselves

I agree!
I was 1 of 6 kids...it taught me to consider others.

I think there is too much blaming and expectation. My first apt..I filled my sink with dirty glasses. Seemed NO WAY... lol..Just me though.
That kind of simple realizations puts getting things done back on you.
Time alone teaches your thoughts are your responsibility..
Use to see people blaming one another on holidays when I stopped for coffee. So glad to leave and get back on road! Glad wasn't holidaying with them.

You are as Happy as you want to be.
When life is hard it wakes you faster to choices.
With a crazy family learned I could be that way or not.
There are more consequences initially for OR NOT, but Life Lessons don't disappear ..they still have to be resolved ... you are with you always.

I once cared for an elderly man who was the smart on financial wiz. He became entombed in his body. Couldn't walk, talk, had to rely on others. I met him grumpy we hung out..he became happier. 💛 Choice.
