Hey everyone, long time lurker here.

I was wondering if its possible for me to have jumped without realising it. I noticed the number up there, 982, was not what it was, and the colored bars were across the banner, not just concentrates in the center. Granted, I'm a sceptic and I think it may be the mods messing around, but who knows?

Things have generally been much better for me as of late. And I can trace it back to one single moment when I totally changed my perception of self. From a self-loathing, unconfident person to someone who is actually happy of who I am and very much so more confident now.

It was because something in my life happened that sort of made me question why I thought of myself this way. I began to focus on my flaws, beat myself (mentally) and made myself stop thinking such negative things. I suppose it was a sort of meditation, albeit one where I didn't clear my mind but instead focused squarely on myself and who I should be rather than who I am.

I had always contemplated doing the Two Glasses method, to achieve a similar result, but never got around to it. It's not like I'm seeing anything like owls in either symbol or phrases lately, but I genuinely feel that perhaps I may have shifted or jumped, especially when, after a long time of not opening this subreddit, I return here to find some things have changed.

Would really appreciate any input on this. Thanks a bunch!
