It finally feels like things are changing to the better substantially.
The feeling of not being "myself" is fading away, and with that have my regular "awareness" come back. The way I look at things, at life, at myself and other people.
It's hard to summarize a life philosophy in plain text like this, but in short I have taking things very seriously during the depression, taking things personally, being on the "defence" and lost that "spark" which I always had towards life, finding joy in stuff and enjoying life rather than being consumed by my ego, other ego's, discussions, whatever. Always being able to take one step, look at what is happening, deal with the situation or laugh about it. Keeping some perspective.
Things rarely are that serious that some people may think. We are alive and doing stuff, stuff happen, most often they are not even that a big deal but for some reason, some people, blow it up to huge dimensions which make not only the situation dealing with the problem a pain in the ass but the problem itself grows bigger. Common sense wins all the way.
I just couldn't laugh at myself at the darker times, but I'm starting to grow that distance once again. It feels amazing, I thought that was lost, I'm almost forgot about it.
EDIT:
What I'm trying to say, that I now can find different perspective's on situations, not being sucked into my own thoughts that easily, or other peoples ways of framing things.
There is no true or right way of looking at a situation, it's up to you. And some people will try to skew the perspective for different reasons, but having the ability to see the situation clearly (which is from different perspectives and combine them) will always be a better thing to do.
Find ways to laugh at life, and ease things up. Let say that someone not answering your questions and being a jerk. Why should you get angry and upset?
“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”
Chill. There is always a solution to a problem that can be done smoothly. Force just create additional force from the other way. Keep your head up.
