Wow, so much has changed while being on this program!
I've probably had the most successful 9 months of my life during it. Yet I believe there is still much more to come. I feel as if I'm only ramping up, and not hitting anywhere near max output.
I had a very successful out of country SE asian trip with my GF of 5 months (my first GF, whom I acquired while on this sub). I am just putting the finishing touches on a slow but successful move into a new house. I am now financially in dependant and paying all my own bills. An amusing thought. Thankfully I have a good career due to a guiding, loving father with connections and my ability to take advantage of opportunities!
On a brief side note, I truly and deeply love and appreciate my parents and all they've done for me. We have always had such a fantastic relationship and it was very emotional to say that goodbye when moving out. However I know it had to be done as it is a necessary step in my evolution. That thought did not stop me from crying like a baby when my mother gave a beautiful and moving speech however! I have not felt such intense emotion since I was a child. Perhaps 10 years!
Currently I have two or three weeks until I begin working again and I plan to enjoy that time off training martial arts, lifting, reading, playing guitar, meditating, and spending time with my gf. I haven't had much downtime in 11 weeks so I will greatly enjoy this coming break!
I wish I could write longer and more concise posts but it always takes me so long to dig through my memory that I run out of time! So instead I will summarize some highlights below:
Unmentioned Highlights:
-Successfully bungee jumped, ziplined across mountains, parasailed, and rode a scooter down a mountain scooters are not meant to be rode on
-did touch ups and renos in the house I moved into to make it up to my standards
-in the midst of fixing a shoulder/pec injury that has plagued me for years
-Beginning an 18lb planned bulk
-For the first time, actually feel like I'm my age. Before I would feel like I haven't lived enough.
-Confidence in interactions with people improves every month. Others might view me as confident, but I am not close to my own standards.
-Still NoFap. Fapped once in 180 days. Currently on a 117 day streak.
-Still coldshowers, just not exclusively. Only do them as a test of willpower in the morning. I feel as though they are inefficient at cleaning off manmade chemicals, so I reintroduced hot showers for when I am especially dirty.
-Driving and navigation skills have improved significantly this past year. Finally shaking off the mantle of being a shitty driver!
-Spent almost all my money, but don't really care. Have budgeted out how much I would be saving after all my bills and I'm content with it for now. I feel as though there will come a time when I am hungry to improve my situation financially, but for the next two years I just want to continually improve myself as a man and complete the current phase of my career. I've learned that quality of life is more important to me than the number in the account.
hmm I believe there are other things but I must get on with my day. I shall update next time I remember! Good day fellow sub users!
