When i compare my old value sheet with my new value sheet, i see a lot of differences. I saw that happiness has become my first priority now and then comfortable life.

My thinking and perceptions about things changed throughout and I started perceiving things more positively and handling problems maturely. In the starting, grades were more important for me but as time passed, happiness became my first priority in life. I started doing things that made me happy. I wasn’t worried about my physical or natural appearance anymore. I realized how good “being you” feels
