It’s all about enjoying the process Benjamin! A friend of mine recently came out, and he thought it would be this monumental, life changing feeling that would solve all of his problems because he was finally being his true, authentic self, and he had discovered who he was and wanted to be. However, he very quickly crept back into the same depressed state.

It was due to the fact that he believed happiness was a single state that he had to reach. He thought it was a place and a threshold for him to overcome, rather than a process. He has been able to adapt this mindset more and more that he is still constantly evolving and going on a self-reflective voyage, and I have never seen him happier.
