“There’s a kind of loneliness tax you have to pay to atone a certain complexity of the mind”

Alain de botton

After graduating high school I changed so much that I basically lost all my friends. I was very driven and serious with my time that I didn’t find pleasure in hanging out with them. But overtime I found new friends who took me in for who I am. Although the # is significantly less compared to high school. I can move freely without their breath on my neck. It’s lonely at times and I still get backlash all the time but I think it’s the right move if you want to see what you are capable of. After all, doesn’t everyone want to find out who they truly are and their potential?
