You know what's the scariest, most honest, thought that crossed my mind sometimes?
'I am not fit to be alive'
You know what's a scarier, yet at the same time more positive, thought I'm having lately?
'I am not fit for the life I'm living'
It allows change. And not only change;
it allows growth.
I don't believe in 'living your life to the fullest'...I believe in 'living yourself to the fullest'.
Exceed your goals, expand your viewpoint, don't just accept the 'known' but dare to question things... Transcend whatever definition of 'living' exists. Because 'living your life' is assuming you have a life. But how can you have the fullest life, if you are not the 'fullest' you? And how would you ever be sure to have become the best version of yourself, if there's only one relevant 'me' to benchmark with?
If the definition of 'life' is already taken,
then still,
the definition of 'me' is a slang that continuous to find new meanings.
You should have added the tag "philosophy" to your post because that was a great mind blast. haha. It's true though.
I don't think it's possible to become the best version of yourself because then you're saying that your surrounding environment and other variables remain constant and unchanging. We know this to not be true. Everything around us changes so fast and we need to adapt in order to become better. But if everything around us changes, we'll never become "the best." We'll just become a "better" version of ourselves.

Haha, would've been a better tag idd (will try to edit, thanks for mentioning ;)! )
Thanks for sharing your thoughts as well, I actually didn't look at it from that angle while writing this. And I really appreciate the different viewpoInt you add here!
I agree on how different settings or circumstances require other (necessary/preferable) skills and concepts to fit in. But I wouldn't say that adapting to the (new) situation at hand makes you a better "you" per se. Your skillset and resilience might have improved, but what about other aspects that make humans persons? Right? ;)
Love your view, and happy you brought it up, thanks!
