What do you do when you've become a completely different person from those who you have surround yourself with? I feel completely isolated with the people I once called my friends our ideals/values are different. I just don't know what to do...
This is the condition of the true independent. You may share a lot with society, in all of its opinions and insights, yet in you personal quest for self-awareness, you become misaligned with the motivations of institutions and what society is contained or defined by.
Without fear, the individual must always maintain their defiant stride against the crowd, no matter what is the sacrifice. You may lose popularity. You may lose money. But never respect.
Delve youself into finding the world as your truth and remember that if what doesn't aid your journey to finding truth, its better left behind.
Use what works for you, be open to other answers, and always keep an open ear as well as an open mnd to the lessons of the past. The future is only the regurgitation of yesterday.
Don't ever forget what makes you different. Take only the advice of those who's lives you would share in and never make your truth without asking the question, "why?"
Life is a journey of answers that I, nor anyone, could ever figure out and share, but its the little moments of realisations that brings us closer to a brighter end.
