Time flies by
Last time I visited this forum was 3 years ago
But when I logged again today a sense of nostalgia flooded me. The friend list. Streaks beyond 1000 days. In truth, they were gone like me. What may have happened to them, unknown.
Some other were still here. How did I know? Streaks shorter than a day. Reality claimed me back once more. I’m in that same spot.
Truth is, I had an account even older than this one. It’s been so long I can’t even recall when I joined. All I remember is that it was before the pandemic. Long before.
Since my late teens till now, I’ve been on and off in this journey. I’ve seen people grow, fall, try again, give up… And I’ve seen myself through all of it aswell. Many times I’ve dreamed about what could have been if I did some things different. If only I could go back in time.
Now I’m 23. It’s getting closer day by day to the 10 year mark. 10 years since I discovered nofap. And I’ve learned plenty. Many lessons that were taught by pain. Most were taught by time.
Things I learned:
Some people can punish their bodies and minds more before seeing the results of their habits. That aplies to pmo aswell
Free will is only available for a few people, for a limited amount of time
The more you lose the harder is to get up
Opportunities get slimmer the older you get
Time doesn’t come back
No. There isn’t always a “next time”. You get a limited ammount of chances
Life ain’t fair. Nature ain’t good (or bad)
Some lessons you can’t teach. They have to be experienced
At the end of the day, only you know what is to be you
There’s no what if. Only what happened is what could have happened
And
Death awaits us all
