"and not worry about what anyone else would think" I had this epiphany in my second year of university. I always tried to "fit in"

and then one night I was just lying there and it hit me "who fucking cares what people think".
It's not like I was going to go on a murder spree or anything, I just stopped worrying if what I was doing might seem weird. Haven't looked back.
Mental Health today is a far different thing that 20, even 10 years ago. My work has sessions almost yearly, therapists are covered by our insurance, our parent friends talk about the troubles their kids might have and that they are going to a therapist, 10 years ago no fucking way would people talk openly about it. Our youngest goes to a therapist (I drove her to her appointment Wednesday actually).
