Maybe there’s a way to make peace with yourself, but if there is, I haven’t found it yet. I know about meditation and therapy but those things take so much time to master that by the time you’ve made peace with whatever problems you had, you’ve probably accumulated a whole new set. I know about prayer, but in my experience, God doesn’t really give a shit about us as individuals. And why would He/She/It? It’s a big universe and there’s probably a lot of basic housekeeping tasks just to keep the whole thing running. Think about all the galaxies that have to keep forming. Billions, trillions of them. And there I am asking if God’s got a second to help me figure out where I should move. I’ve got two dogs and they seem perfectly content with themselves. They’ve never once asked me to help them figure out what they should do with their lives. Maybe that’s because they know how confused I am about my own and they don’t want to burden me any further, which would be very considerate of them, but helping them figure out their troubles would go a long way towards getting my mind off my own. That’s another way people recommend getting out of your own head; helping others. Maybe that’s the best way. Just give other people/dogs the love they need and be open to receiving their love in return. Another good way is eating a lot of pizza.
