Letting it go, enhance lifestyle

The month of December has already arrived, and it also means that 11 months have already passed. It is the nature of humans to change over time, and in my case it's not so different either. Change is something that is hard to notice in a short time, but 11 months is enough time for you to understand the change. I started to realize that there is everything I stopped doing over the last 11 months. Let me share about it.

I am not a person who talks a lot, but I used to talk with my best friends. It doesn't matter how much we talk; our discussion never ends. But this year, my conversations with my best friends have decreased a lot. In the first half of the year, I was preoccupied with my examinations and research, but after I became free, I realized that even though I was free, they were not free like me. They never said they were feeling bored, and neither was I. They didn't feel it was boring, but I needed to restrict myself because they are my best friends. They started to do their job, and even if they want to comfort me in conversation, I can't do it for their sake. They need proper rest for working the next day, and that's why I lost you and our conversation early. Unless it's a holiday, I don't disturb them too much.

I always enjoy explaining things in a logical manner. I used to feel that it's my responsibility to make things correct if there is something wrong. Even if my tension was good, I think everyone is not ready to understand it. Or it can be said that some people refuse to understand all the time, and it doesn't matter how much I try to make them understand. I think it's the issues with their mentality, and I can make them understand only when I can defeat them with logic, which means I should not give them any options to refuse. I used to do it because it gave me a sense of achievement at that time. Later, I can understand that there is no actual benefit to it for me, and wasting my energy on them is not worthy. It's better to accept their logic even if it's not logical; it can save my energy and time. And I am not going to lose anything in that case. It's just that I am focusing on saving my strength and doing something effective and beneficial for me.

I finished my post-graduation exam, and from that time on, I am officially unemployed. There are several people who try to lecture me. They pretend like they are concerned about me, but they are actually trying to mock me or humiliate me. At least I can understand who is concerned about me. If I am not doing any kind of job, but my offline and online earnings together are more than 2X from a new job holder. But I want to hide those things. It's because I don't think there is anything that can benefit me by sharing it with them. I choose to be humble and let them win. It can at least satisfy them. I believe their win is equal to keeping them in darkness, and I don't have any intention to humiliate them unless they go extreme.

All the things I stopped doing 11 months ago are actually giving me more time for myself, which is very good for self-improvement. I try to use some of the time to improve my skills or learn a new skill. Additionally, I am using the time to generate some money through my own ability, which is also a good thing in the long term, and as a minimalist, all those changed habits support minimalism and enhance my lifestyle.
