Doing certain things that teenaged and less confident me thought would’ve not happened in a looong time due to various self-esteem, confidence and immaturity issues: got in great shape, discovered the field of work I wanna go into and got into university and jobs for that field, learned how to properly dress and groom myself, lost my v card, got into my first relationship (well, atm it’s not serious yet but it counts), and finally gained the confidence and positive self image that I longed for throughout the entire decade. And most of this has happened in only the past two years (I’m 20). I’m just glad that I pushed myself through all the painful experiences, because the end result was totally worth it and way beyond where I envisioned myself going by now.
