What are you grateful for having done in your life?

[fopylo]

This is a complementary thread to the one of "what do you regret for not doing in your youth". I feel like everyone talking about their regrets can turn into a downwards spiral of dissatisfaction with life. So I believe it would be great if we could just give a moment to remind ourselves at least one thing we're happy we did in life. This could inspire to push forwards.

I'm 23 years old and sometimes I think "I missed it..." Even though many would argue I'm young. Even when I see people who are younger than me I think of then as way too young to worry, yet when I was their age I would think my life is fleeting.

So here are some things I'm grateful for:

• I'm happy I'm taking on solo traveling now (it's quite challenging).
• I'm happy to have had sex with 2 women in Thailand without paying.
• I'm very grateful for the awesome trip I had in Japan and for learning Japanese (really helped me).
• I'm happy to have met those friends from different places during travel.
• I'm grateful for having a more introspective nature, allowing me to feel more deeply.
• I'm grateful for having been exposed to music and learned piano from a young age and have good intuition when it comes to improvisation + having perfect pitch.
• I'm grateful for my analytical abilities, having math and physics as my strong subjects.

Ok this would be for now. I can already say how while writing all of this my mood uplifted. As I was writing, thoughts about the things I still lack in came up, and focusing on them didn't feel inspiring. I think it's good to focus on the good things that made you who you are now. You couldn't be any other way 😉.

Yes there are stuff I'd like to improve on, like game and talking to women. And sometimes it can be HARD to think positively of life when walking in a busy nightlife street seeing couples together, hot women all around and too scared of the proximity, men flirting with women, men getting attention from cute girls... It can be painful. I'll put that aside for now as it isn't inspiring. But I got a little motivated by @riplo

I learned that I was born doing death contemplation Sadhana. I'm glad I did that. I had tonnes of sex I am glad I did that. I partied non stop im glad I did that.

I am glad I did psychedelics and awaken. I am glad that I see God and nullify my death anxiety. I am glad I was selfish it was fun.

I'm glad I never let myself get indoctrinated into school and let myself become a boring fucking nerd preppy kid. I'm glad I chose the punk life.

It was not easy but it was way more exciting. Being a nerd is lame asf. My nervous system was fried but worth.
