“I am always met with "She’s your MOTHER, you can’t just abandon her like that!” And I am always sure to respond with, “She birthed me. A mother is supposed to nurture and love her child, not verbally and emotionally abuse them. She is supposed to fill hearts with joy, not crush spirits. A mother tells her children they are the light of her life, not the biggest mistake she ever made. So really, she abandoned me first.” That usually shuts them up pretty quickly.“
Society says when you have these things, you'll be happy. What have you wanted desperately for years...and finally gotten? Remember what it was like not having it? Now think about what it is like having it. Ready to die happy? ...Me either. Happiness does not come from getting you want. You'll feel happier when you want what you get. In other words, you're content with what you have now. The less I want. The more I get. The exact opposite way most of the society operates. Life is full of paradoxes, isn't it?
