I stopped caring and my life changed

When I stopped caring about the approval of other people, things changed. I started living life for me. Panic and anxiety are now a thing of the past.

I’m not sure what made me change.
Maybe it was age?
Maybe the people around me helped me see the light?

But I stopped caring.

Don’t get me wrong, I still care about important topics. Such as health, family, food, and shelter are still front of mind.
