How “The Subtle Art of How Not to Give a Fuck” Changed my Life.
I was someone who gave too many fucks about too many things. Everything began to stress me out. What was annoying was the smaller things in life started to stress me out. “Shit, I forgot to put my plate in the dishwasher.” or “I didn’t reply to that comment someone left on my last post on Instagram”. Part of what makes me stressed is the environment and the people. And the stupid part was that everything “negative” (I was just being a bitch about the small things in full honestly) that was happening in my life, I thought I was the only one who was going through it.
Mark Manson created a novel that is funny, brutally honest and most importantly, helped me realize the who, what, when, where and how I should give a fuck.
Everybody has problems. This was something comforting that I learned and it put some perspective on my problems. It made me realize that I am not alone. the rich, the poor, the ones who have families, the ones who are alone, everyone has problems. There is no such thing as a perfect person who has life figured out, no matter how it may look and what they choose to share.
Sometimes, when I look at a friend, I think “Why do I have so much shit going on in my life and this person is just chilling and has everything figured out? How are they succeeding in their academics…
