My life is finally my own.

r/

Up until 4 years ago, I felt like I had no real control over my life. I let the pressures of other people’s opinions guide my choices in career, dating, friendships, and even my own hobbies.

Over the last four years I have actively dismantled my old life:

  • I started a completely different career, and love my job now.
  • I fully embraced single life, only to find a great guy (we’re getting married next month).
  • I have a dog and she’s the best.
  • I have hobbies that are my own and make my inner-child happy.
  • I’m in better physical shape than I ever was.

Just wanted to share my happy vent. Thanks for playing witness.

    this is what escaping the simulation looks like

    — ditched the people-pleasing
    — rebuilt from rubble
    — became the version of yourself that your past self thought was “too much to ask for”

    nah, this is the flex
    not money
    not followers
    peace
