The Peace of Not Needing Too Much

To make a long story short, I grew up poor. I didn’t have much, but I thought I had everything when I was a kid. I never really had a great relationship with my parents, or any of my siblings. I’m the youngest on my mom's side; I’m the second-youngest on my dad's side. I’ve had highs, and I’ve had lows. I’ve been to college and to jail. Thankfully, I’ve never had a felony or committed any serious crime. I’ve loved and lost many times. I was once 260 pounds and lost over 100 pounds on my weight-loss journey, and I believe that’s a big part of how I view the world entirely differently. In my adult years, I’ve worked many jobs and held many different titles, from entry-level to managerial roles, and honestly, the entry-level & mid-level roles felt better to me personally. I never wanna be too high, and I never wanna be too low. A midpoint is good enough for me. I’ve lived in luxury apartments, and I’ve rented rooms. I’ve never owned a home, and I don’t think I ever want to because owning a home to me is becoming stagnant and staying in one place, and I don’t see freedom in that, especially in America. I say all of this to say life is what you make it. If you want the roses and butterflies, go after them. If you want the Rose, that’s OK too, that’s how you feel and what you feel. Don’t ever let people dictate your journey, your story, or your progress. That’s between you and your inner being. I’m 33 now, and I’m still figuring it out, and I’m still experiencing life, and that’s how I became content. Knowing that I don’t know it all, that I don’t want to know it all, but that if I get to experience certain things, I’m happy with that. I don’t know if this is a thing, but I think I’ve become frugal by nature. I don’t expect too much or want too much. I like freedom to flow, the freedom to live, and the freedom to experience. I never wanna be tied down to anything or anyone, but I'd love to experience. If you asked me, I believe I’m very introverted, but I can hold a conversation with anyone about anything; I just choose not to. I don’t know, this is just me, and this is how I became content. Thanks for reading. GIVE ME A THESESIS FOR THIS.
