Sigh.
A little about myself:
- I'm 23, unemployed, directionless, and living with my parents. I often feel like I ate a little too much.
- I have hours of free time, but I'm entirely unproductive. When I first moved home I had a decent morning routine where I meditated, worked out, and took a cold shower. But then I did nothing for the rest of the day. And that was a relatively good period compared to now. Now I have a hard time getting out of bed some mornings.
- I have few friends. I'm terrible at creating lasting relationships with my peers. Maybe it's because I tend to be socially awkward, or because I'm over-critical and push people away for being imperfect. Either way, I need a better social life.
- I also hooked to the computer. It's not porn. In fact, I quit porn months ago, and it hasn't really been a problem since then. But I still spend hours on social media and news sites. It give me a mental buzz - something to fill the hours and distract me from my goals.
I don't know if all of these problems stem from porn, but I do believe masturbation in the largest sense of the word -- a process of self-gratification through superficial means -- is a large reason why I'm not where I want to be in life.
But today that changes.
Quitting porn was a big step, but I have a lot of work to do in the second, more important part of this process, which is creating positive replacements for old, bad habits.
Until tomorrow. Cheers.
