Is it coincidence that I just today wrote a short article about a technique to start dreaming and visioning again?

Wouldn’t it be great if…? | TobiasZimpel.com

So at the moment most of the time I'm trying to figure out how to leave this life without hurting the people that would actually care about me being gone.
If they do care about you, they will accept that you are changing, don't they? If not, I doubt that they are real friends. Maybe they will be hurt by you leaving them, but they will get over it quite soon.

I don't want to destroy their lives, but mine, on the other hand, is pointless and only full of "what do I do so time passes faster", so obviously here's a need to strike some kind of idiotic balance... if there is no other solution, that is.
Balance maybe is the wrong way to go. Sometimes you have to lose sight of the coast if you want to discover new lands. You probably won't destroy their lives (at least if their life or health doesn't depend on you supporting them), nor is it worth it to sell your own life for theirs.

Ok, thanks for reading. Writing did make some pain go away for a short while, so if you choose to reply, I'll be happy and if not, then this thread has had at least some purpose
I chose to reply, although it is only short. Sure it feels good to write this stuff down, for for long term relief to happen, you probably have to take more actions. If you continue to act the same, you can't expect your results to change. If you want totally different results, then you have to act totally different. And you can change, even if it takes a long time. You absolutely can become the person you want to, and live the life you are dreaming about - or will be dreaming about quite soon...
