Cabbage rolls are amazing, aren't they?
I'm andromeda, and I wanted to write about my thoughts on attaining "true happiness"!
Of course, there's really no such thing as achieving "TRUE" happiness, I know, shut up. Here, I want to express the way to experience the closest you can get to that.
[Stop giving a shit]
It's that simple, really. Just stop caring about what other people think about you, and strictly focus on the things that make you happy.
Easier said than done.
People have a tendency to want to please others, and society in general, even if that doesn't benefit them in any way, or even if it harms them.
So how do ya
stop?
stop?
Well, simply ask yourself:
"Is this really something I want? Will this benefit me in the long run?"
If no, don't do it.
Ever since I realised this, my life has become much easier. I used to worry about being seen as a "loser" by others, simply because my desires in life aren't quite like those of others. I myself would rather be at home creating my own stupid little projects, instead of wanting to find a partner, having a family, having a good job, things like that. Sure, those things could benefit me in terms of money or status, but frankly i don't care. If I earn enough to maintain myself sitting at home drawing, writing and watching/reading stupid stuff, I'm perfectly fine. I wish I could do those things forever, honestly. Others may see it as "sad" - to want to be a shut-in, but if that's what truly brings me happiness, I do not care.

And you shouldn't either.
This has its dangers too, because of course it has.
Having a mindset like this could quickly lead you to being an asshole, or straight up horrible human being.
So you should still be considerate and respectful when needed.
It's the bare minimum.
You should still be the number one priority, as long as it doesn't hurt others.
That's what I think.
