I’ve been on a journey of self-discovery, driven by societal expectations and personal doubts. I studied nursing at a state university while yearning for something more in life. Since 2022, I’ve been practicing NoFap and have maintained a long streak of 196 to 210 days. I’ve also been training at the gym and preparing for boxing tournaments, hoping for a significant change in my life. However, balancing four hours of training with my nursing duties and exam preparation is overwhelming. I don’t want to give up because I feel I deserve better.
As I approach my exams, I hope to become a better version of myself in the new year, aiming to silence those who criticize my boxing pursuits. My dream is to become a professional boxer and serve in the military.
Despite initially following a path influenced by familial and societal pressures, I realized it didn’t align with my true self. Nursing school, with its rigid routine, clashed with my creative and free-spirited nature. Past bullying and poor choices haunted me, but a moment of clarity helped me recognize I was sacrificing my true self for others’ approval.
I decided to break free from societal expectations, embracing my imperfections and unique strengths. I’ve learned to forgive myself, let go of the past, and embrace the future. I’m grateful for the lessons learned, the friendships formed, and the support of those who believe in me. I am no longer defined by mistakes but by my determination to live authentically. I am a work in progress, woven with hope, resilience, and belief in human connection.
Guys any advice? Please help me wanna relapse so bad because it doesn’t feel worth it for me
