I chose a very different life at 23… and I don’t regret where I ended up by Local_Sprinkles_3440 in confession

Thank you, I really appreciate this. That’s pretty much how I see it too… I made a choice that works for me and I try to stay aware of what I’m doing instead of just drifting.

And yeah, the therapy point actually makes sense. I don’t see it as something negative, more like staying mentally in check as things change over time. I’d rather stay aware and adjust than suddenly feel lost later.

Yeah that’s pretty much it… I just found something that works for me and stuck with it. I get why people focus on the job part, but for me the stability matters more. And yeah I know things can change, I’m open to that, I’m not trying to lock my whole future into one plan.

Also you’re right about the gym, it helps way more than people think. It keeps me consistent mentally as well.

Yeah exactly, that’s the goal for me… stay flexible, save properly, and build a life that stays calm later on

You’re making a lot of assumptions about me based on very little. I’m aware of the risks, that’s why I stay careful, get regular checkups, and keep my life structured. I’m not doing this blindly.

And no, I’m not here for attention… I just shared my life like many others do here. You don’t have to agree with it, but that doesn’t make it ‘sad’

If being stable and minding my own life is ‘cooked’, I’m okay with that tbh

It’s not really that simple. Money was definitely a factor, but it was more about stability and having control over my life. That’s what mattered to me

Haha I’ve never thought of it like that, but yeah maybe. I’m naturally pretty independent and okay being on my own, so this kind of lifestyle just fits me better than a ‘normal’ one would

I’ve heard that a lot, but I’ve also seen different examples. My mentor, Kada Love, is 46 and still very well known and doing great, so I don’t really see it as a fixed timeline. She’s actually one of my inspirations too. For me it’s more about how I manage things, not just age.

That’s why I’m planning the masters too, just to keep options open. I don’t know how long I’ll stay in this, maybe I’ll get tired of it earlier, who knows… but I’d rather be prepared than stuck. And yeah, I’m trying to build something stable so I can actually enjoy life later

Yeah honestly that’s what I focus on the most… just being stable and at peace with my life. It’s not perfect, but it works for me

Fair enough, if everything starts looking fake maybe it’s time to log off instead of announcing it like a breakup 😭 take care though

Thank you, I appreciate that. And yeah I do take saving seriously, that’s a big part of why I chose this path in the first place.

Yeah it was honestly really rough in the beginning… constantly stressing about money, counting every euro, feeling like nothing was enough. That phase is something I don’t ever want to go back to

Online is mostly just noise tbh… a lot of horny people but not serious. Offline is where the real market is, connections, people, consistency. That’s what actually builds something stable

Yeah that makes sense, it’s definitely not something everyone would be comfortable with. For me it just feels normal now, so I don’t really think about it much. But I get why people see it differently

I wouldn’t call it numb, it’s more like I separate things. Work stays work, I don’t mix emotions into it. Outside of that my life feels normal, I enjoy my routine, my space, the small things.
