Possibly my last post on this. The impacts of LTU aren't astounding. At least you don't wake up to chicks trying to jump your bones, to people all of a sudden bowing to you or piles of cash appearing under your bed.
But if you have my experience, then you will find yourself at some point finding it difficult to remember why you were previously ever down, depressed, anxious or whatever before. You'll find that relationships and activities are more fun, more enlivening etc. And often social problems or problems which used to bug you/make you doubt yourself no longer do so. They might still be there, but the accompanying self chastisement and dark mental chatter will be gone and there will be space to work on it.
Similarly inescapable valleys in terms of circumstance, people behaving like shit and so on, don't unnecessarily snowball into excessive periods of self created unhappiness - If someone shits on your doorstep you don't add to add to its stinking up your life by getting down on your knees and deeply inhaling it's stink, then cry about the injustice, pull your pants down and add to it...which I see people and have seen myself doing. you have the freedom to sweep it off your doorstep, and out of your life, possibly even spraying a little air freshner.
I'm guessing and hoping that this trajectory continues over this few months (up to a year if I decide to go that way). There isn't likely to be ground breaking stuff above what I've mentioned before, so I'll refrain from posting much if anything now as there's only so much I can update to say 'wow my life has just got better and I'm happier and happier'.
So Shannon, thanks. This sub is the business, and just sticking with it for a good period of time now has radically, although creepingly and almost without notice, shifted my life into a whole new place.

Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
