Think deeply and be intentional with what you do every day. Journaling, meditating, and going to the gym worked best for me. Sometimes, you just can’t afford to give a fuck and instead, it’s better to not dwell on it. You just gotta let it go.

This might seem like a pretty stupid question. I dare you to read on. In my life, I’ve had my fair share of helping people; I think we all have some memory of our own altruistic endeavours.
