self discovery

I posted here a few weeks ago about how lonely I felt. I just recently started meditating and being mindful. I am discovering a lot more things about myself now that I never knew before, and the comfort of knowing how I am makes me feel less lonely now. Self acceptance and being true is very hard to do..but is so worth working for, in the long term. If anyone ever asks me for advice, these will be my words.. Don't rely on anyone else for your happiness. Trust yourself, and learn to do things your way, don't worry about what other people might think. You live your life the way you want to... You only get one after all.

My brother got turned on to "meditation" by a psychologist, rather than addressing his inappropriate introversion, psychological problems. Now he's dead, before the age of 30, from such an inward focus and lack of drive to change.

Live the way you want to live, but if you want to be alone, or if you find yourself rationalizing that with "meditation" (which is basically a drug), it is a double-edged sword.

No, you cannot do that with your phone. What you undoubtedly witnessed was a delayed "update".
