They seem fine.

-Since Smith left, it seemed that everyone else

began -has begun his own individual life.

Hi RoseSpring,
This is one of those times when you're not sure if "Since" is being used to indicate a passage of time or to mean "because."

Because he left, people are...
Since the time he left, people are ...

Either meaning is possible, so you may consider whether it even matters (is the cause-effect idea of because important?) and if so, rewriting to be Since Smith's departure (clearly time) or "Because..."
