From Mental Struggle to Inner Joy: How I Reclaimed My Life
For a long time, I felt stuck—psychologically restless, emotionally overwhelmed, and constantly overthinking about people and their opinions. I believe I may have ADHD, and it made ordinary life feel like a mental battleground. I struggled to focus, to feel stable, to just be.
But something changed.
After years of suffering, reading, reflecting, and listening to different perspectives—from science to spirituality—I arrived at a realization that completely shifted the foundation of how I live:
Death is a beautiful reality of nature.
It’s the only thing that is absolutely certain. Every person I meet, admire, fear, or overthink about—they are just mortal humans like me. One day, we all disappear. That truth made me ask: Why waste time obsessing over others, or seeking validation from them?
This simple but powerful awareness dissolved a lot of my mental chaos. It gave me permission to stop performing and start living. It reminded me that the most joyful and meaningful life begins when you stop living for the world, and start living from your core.
And then came another breakthrough:
The ultimate aim of everything is joy.
Whether it’s money, relationships, achievements—we chase them hoping they’ll bring happiness. But what if I reversed that logic? What if I stopped doing things for joy, and instead began doing things from joy?
That was the moment I understood: Joy is not a reward. It’s my true nature.
Now, I no longer wait for success to feel fulfilled. I remind myself daily: I am joy. I live in joy. I work from joy. Whether I’m studying, creating, or just sitting alone, I carry a lightness inside me. I don’t need a reason to smile anymore. The smile is the reason.
I’ve started embracing solitude. I’ve stopped seeking approval. I now find deep satisfaction in building my own personality through raw experiences, doing hard things, and staying close to myself.
I’m not here to impress the world.
I’m here to experience life deeply.
