Ways my life is changing for better

[DiegoO]

You probably heard the phrase: "life is what you make from it". I somewhat agree with that phrase. Sometimes there's to much going on, to the point of heavily influencing a sure mental and physical breakdown. I believe that happened to me, multiple times, due to numerous things that occurred; some of which I've published here.

I made from all that life experience an inspiration for Mytakes and art works. To some extend it helped, but my "father" was still part of my life; until my mother divorced him and run him from home—she owns the house and the land.

Since then I noticed 8 things that improved in my life.

1. I don't gotta deal with "my dad" compulsive hording.

⚠️For the first time I can clean any part of my home without worrying about the house getting messy again in 24-48hrs. Nor do I have to worry about setting lot of things into order.

2. The air quality of the house is far better.

⚠️His hygiene is terrible. I had to deal with that from an early age. It kept my motivation down. I just couldn't stand his smell. Remembering it is repulsive.

3. The food is better

⚠️He didn't gave much chance to buy fresh food. Even the vegetables he buy weren't fresh. They always looked stail.

4. The bathroom is more available than ever.

⚠️Obviously he has gastrointestinal problems; although I remember it was a struggle to use the bathroom, since ever. He always kept there for one entire hour. One entire hour felt like an eternity.

5. The tension at home decreased tremendously.

⚠️Arguments are not as frequent like before. Everyone is more in peace—everyone: mother and siblings.

6. Everyone sleeps better

⚠️Our sleeping hours are not as irregular like before.

7. There's a higher sense of freedom.

⚠️My "dad" is a controlling freak. The damage he made to the family, induced us to be economically dependant on him. He wasn't helping, he was sistematically restraining our personal development.

8. My creativity improved

⚠️There's this cliche that relates higher creativity with having a misserable life. Is not true. Creativity could come from missery, but the max potential only comes with certain peace. High levels of constant stress, drain off the creative mind.

👋Thanks for reading the MyTake!

It's nice to see that your life has been improving since then. I know how it feels to have a toxic parent. In some ways, he reminds me of my own mother.

Thanks for the MHO.

Np👍

Constant tension and conflict steal all the joy from life. If only you did not live in a communist dictatorship!

[DiegoO]

Yeah, and that's another story. I basically lived a microversion of a communist dictatorship. "My dad" acted like one, and I can see the amplified version of his abusement in the political sphere of the country.

Thanks for MHO!

Np👍

Glad you’re improving your life. Thanks for reminding me to remember the positives and the progress in life. I feel pretty stuck right now so it’s nice to be reminded to have gratitude. I don’t think it’s always easy.

[DiegoO]

Is never easy. I honestly wouldn't have any new outlook if it wasn't for my parents divorce and my "father" out of the house.

[El_Diamante]

Good thing you have a positive outlook in life

[DiegoO]

Now that the old man left, I can say I have it more than ever.

[El_Diamante]

Hell yeah bro, the best thing you could do. Is to pass on that energy

It says your 33?

[DiegoO]

33, living in the 2nd or third poorest country in The Americas. Beside having to deal with a dictatorship and a circumstance that aloaded "my father" to almost destroy the family wellbeing—physical, mental, economical.

[Opinion Owner]

Uh huh...

[DiegoO]

Yeah, you wouldn't get it if you were born and raised in a developed country.
