I have a long trip planned across Europe, the Balkans, and possibly S.E.A. that’s coming up. Likely will last a minimum of six months, and cost at least ten thousand USD, but probably longer and also closer to fifteen. To me, it makes more sense to get that outta the way first, write my own myth, then switch jobs and domiciles after (current job is dogshit, but they’ve said they’ll let me take a long leave of absence for personal development and still keep my job, so it’d be daft to not get the exp points while simultaneously not doing any work)

It may seem like a waste of money and time, but while I’m still young and also have the money is the best time. Traveling and being the man was what I originally sought from my first career, anyway (which was fashion modeling)

But I will start making moves to advance myself in that direction, and thinking critically about my actions and my behaviors. I’ll also have to exercise my social skills, as I’m a really chatty and personable guy, just got unfairly deprived of a lot of practice. The way she treated me really echoed and rippled throughout my adult life. Abusive people love to say that we “allow people to treat us this way,” but the truth is, the abusers condition us to expect horrible, ugly treatment, and then we end up being right.

Do you recommend any resources or literature? I’m currently reading the book Atomic Habits, and I like to watch Jordan Peterson.
