One philosophy, for the last couple years that I've been looking for one mode of living. A style of living where success is nearly guaranteed. Last year, I was living in a very regimented harsh way. I wasn't really having fun, but I was grinding everyday. I was working hard, I was giving everything I had to the job I was working or the course that I was taking. Starting of 2024, I burnt out, I couldn't study at the same capacity I did before. I had the strong belief that I would somehow adapt to the torture I was putting myself through. I didn't see my friends nor my family, claiming it would distract me from my goals. and then I missed my friends and family, I moved back home. I decided to live life in a carefree style, where I only do the things I want to do. This also does work that well. For the past month, I've not been able to get very important things done, simply because I don't want them to. This morning I had an epiphany perhaps there is no one mode or right way to live. The way I live now doesn't have to be the way I live forever, even if I put myself through hell or heaven, it can simply just be a phase in my life. Everythings gonna change that's for certain. That's the only philosophy that will always be true. In the future, no matter what it is, I must adapt and overcome the obstacles.

After Math class, I spoke to my friend Simran, he offered me great insight into the way he lives. He said he tries to keep things simple as possible. It's a good way to live, the less time you spent on thinking about decisions and actually engaging with life the better. That way you live closer to the truth, in action.
