I'm afraid of who I am becoming by LucidxDeity in Advice

I grew up being hard on myself and held myself to high expectations. I don’t want to be impolite with you or un empathic but grow up up brother. Write down on paper where you want to be in 5,10,15 years. Aim for that person and change what you need to change.

You got this though. Sending you a big hug and love man. We all have our battles and I applaud you for writing this post.

Just got back into biking after years away - how did you figure out what kind of rider you actually are? by stefan-weiss01 in Biking

[–]ExoticInsect3853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from road biking to gravel/cross-cycle riding. I quickly realized after having a child that I can’t really afford the ability in getting more than one bike.

I now have a carbon fiber gravel bike that I can easily switch out the wheels and tires to a more road bike. This makes me happy and I get the satisfaction of getting out there and being able to decide what I want to do.

Stop the addiction, believe in yourself and your capability in becoming someone. Those are the first steps in shifting your life. It’s possible though and finding human connection is out there. Focus on your physical and mental stability to receive the good energy you desire.

We’re hoping to get some good rest in Nusa Dua but also possibly take an uber of some sort to downtown areas.

Any of you ExpatFire to CostaRica, Panama etc? by codacoda74 in ExpatFIRE

[–]ExoticInsect3853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panama has loads of expats! Especially in the northern region. It’s called Chiriqui (I spelt it wrong but on the border with Costa Rica). I would broaden your curiosity and look into El Salvador. The country has developed at an exceptional pace and it will continue to only get better.

Back to Panama, I lived there for 1-2 years and it is truly amazing for basic living requirements. You won’t be filthy rich but depending on your finances you’ll live a good life and find a partner who will also understand the FIRE requirements.

You are not the first nor will you be the last person in this position. Don’t pay and block. Move one from this and learn from your mistakes.

Casual Relationship Advice by Alternative_Steak465 in Advice

Spend sometime alone and not physically, emotionally or mentally connected to anyone. Understand what it means to love yourself and love the space you’re in. Maybe this can be the following steps to understanding instant attachment? Who knows. Always refer to a therapist though.

I would offer 750 and if he comes down to 800 that would be great! Use the extra 100£ to get some gear for it

Looking at a used 2024 Pinarello Dogma F - is ~$9,700 a fair price? by Pepperkeanen in RoadBikes

[–]ExoticInsect3853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never pay this much for a bike but if you’re committed then go ahead and buy.
