Too embarassed to tell anyone I know IRL, but am excited for my new future. Been throwing alot of money with small things. PC, alcohol, movies (and im ashamed to say, funko pops). Recently i took the plunge and cut out alcohol in an attempt to get my life together, and i feel like i have a whole new start.

Thinking back, there were many post on R*ddit where i would say to myself "this could have been in the drafts folder" or "this didnt need to be broadcast to the whole internet". Now theres me, proud of an achievement, while someone else on the internet is probably thinking "this didnt need to be broadcast on the internet".

But Im proud of what I did, and am optimistic for the future.

No this post is very nice to have here because of its positive message. I am guilty of way too much trolling on the web. Being like “lol it’s kinda true but this will cause much ruckus let’s post it” but the recent political situation made me lose all the humour and lightheartedness of little trolling. Time for joking is over.

United in misery is very much a thing and when the situation is normal and good guys are in charge I will hah squabble and bicker and troll a lil bit but in the times of great strife it isn’t proper. The bad times unite ppl.

Nothing needs to be broadcast on social media 99% of the time. But positivity is nice to hear to muddy up the negativity we often see. So what if this didn’t need to be broadcasted. I still found it heartwarming and enjoyable to read and know someone is doing well for themselves.

Congratulations. That’s quite an achievement to make in your life to cancel out something that didn’t have a positive on your life and to do something better for the future at the same time.

Many of us past our 20’s can’t always say we did something so positive in our 20’s but we wish we had.
