Will you regret Self-Improvement?
Nature’s Highlights:
Just when I thought winter couldn’t bring me any joy, this morning came to be:

Vaslui, Romania, 15/01/2024
Never lose your hope in nature boys.
This past week, everything in my life started changing.
I’ve taken bigger and bigger steps to fulfill my life - stopped overusing my phone; stopped jerking off
But, at the same time, me and my best friend for 3.5 years are in the biggest fight of our lives.
Since the first day I met him, we instantly became friends.
We talked on the fucking train tracks for 1 or 2 hours, while all our friends were waiting for us.
He’s been the closest person to me besides my mom my whole high-school life.
And these past few days, he told me something that I wanted to relate to you as well.
He’s always had a problem with me going to sleep so early, and being so caring of my sleeping program,
Because it meant that I wasn’t willing to mindlessly waste nights anymore.
And he said to me:
“In a few years, you’ll regret you have spent your time like this”
“You don’t know how your personality will change, you don’t know what you’ll prioritize in the future”
And while I must agree with the second part,
Because I truly don’t KNOW what my future self will do,
I’ve got to have enough trust in him that he won’t venture on a worse path than I’m on right now.
That’s because I’m not only building my future,
I’m building my future self as well.
I’m creating a trajectory, a path for me to walk on.
And of course he will be different than me, I WANT him to be different, better than me.
But in no way imaginable do I foresee him looking back, and thinking:
“I wish I would’ve walked another road”.
You see, everything we do right now is trying to achieve exactly that, a life with no regrets.
Living a “normal life”, while not building neither yourself nor your life, leaves you open to an encyclopedia of regrets.
But by taking the first steps, by looking in the mirror and saying “I want to be better”,
We’re making sure that the person we are to become, no matter how different, will never regret this journey.
Just look at everyone around you, and picture them alongside you in ten years.
Where they’ll be, what will their job be, and most importantly, WHO will they be.
Which one of you is most likely to look back with pride at their past, and which one most likely to regret it?
You don’t even need me to give an answer,
You already know it.
So the next time people try deterring you from your path, saying that “you’ll regret this all, just come drink with us”,
Remember this post,
Remember which one of you will be proud of your life.
Thank you so much for reading guys,
I’m trying to make my emails a bit more digestible and easier to read,
Hope y’all are liking that.
Nonetheless boys and girls, until next week, I wish you all an amazing life,
Aaaaaaandddd keep growinggg
