[*Inspired by this piece*](https://medium.com/@krisgage/read-this-if-you-only-sort-of-have-your-shit-together-b2c1daa3715a)

‘Not giving a damn’ might be one of the greatest skills it is possible to develop. (I’m still working on it myself.)
|
||
|
||
When I say not giving a damn, I don’t mean stop caring full stop. Far from it. I mean caring *intensely *about* *what matters and not giving a damn about the rest. Particularly about other people trying to tell you what’s important.
|
||
|
||
Don’t let anyone else dictate what you want. Because only you can see that for certain. You have a duty to yourself. A duty to reflect and figure out what matters to you.
|
||
|
||
Maybe you don’t know what you want in the future, or where your life is going. I certainly don’t. It doesn’t matter.
|
||
|
||
Find what you value *right at this moment. *Everyone has something or somethings. Maybe someone(s).
|
||
|
||
Then dig in your heels and **fight** for it.
|
||
|
||
Fight, damn you, fight.
|
||
|
||
Focus on the little things that aren’t so little. Anything and everything that makes your mind or heart sing.
|
||
|
||
Some things are worth fighting for. And maybe definitely they’re the only things worth anything.
|
||
|
||
The rest will figure itself out.
|
||
|
||
Until tommorow.
