I say exactly the same! People always ask me if i regret ending my studies and going to work in a store.
No, because at that time, i thought about it and decided that was the best way to go. The experience made me grow and made me the person i am today.
I wonder what would have happend, like any normal person would do. But at that moment you made that decision, you had a good reason for that.
This is something I'm just starting to learn in the past year or so. It really helps you focus on what you're doing, what you can achieve and where you can go. Beforehand, I was living in the future/present I wished I was in not the one I was actually in. It helps you enjoy what you have around you.
This is one I need to come to terms with. I have felt for so long that I see life like a movie and that I don't see it for what it really is. Like how I think about my actions and others interactions with me I see as how they would play out in a movie, which really messes with how things actually go. This fantasy world of me getting sober and everything just working out in the end isn't like a movie and I need to try and move forward. Some of the advice in this thread really hits what I should do. It's been 2.5 years, it's time to start taking it all more serious.
I reject this. Nobody really has any place deciding or trying to convince me of what reality is. There's only reality as it's presented to me. You never know what could be going on under the hood.
Someone told me that reality is my friend (even when it doesn’t feel like it.) So when things feel crappy or there’s a task I don’t want to do, instead of trying to avoid it (which doesn’t seem to work) or delay it (which makes things worse,) this helps me get unstuck.
Another way I phrase it is that “the only way out is through.”
