I know the decision is my own and I’d like to hear your input.
I’ve sacrificed a lot these last 6 months. I saved a little cash, moved from NJ to GA for both business and personal reasons, and am currently learning web development to familiarize myself with CENTS (even though freelancing disobeys a few CENTS principles, this’ll be a better base than twiddling my thumbs while waiting for inspiration to strike)
To be frank, the desert of desertion is whooping my booty. Web development has taken up most of my time and happiness - wake at 5, work until 3, then take a web dev course until Starbucks closes at 8. I feel tired all the time and guilty about doing things like exercise or taking a break because I know it’ll take time away from a goal I’ve sacrificed everything for.
For example, my roommate threw a kickback (that’s what people from the south call hanging out) yesterday with our coworkers. A supposedly reasonable side of me said to use that time to study, but its competition was too strong. The side of me thats hasn't had any real fun for the last 2 months, been on NoFap, is lonely and wanting of admiration and to experience life while I’m still young couldn’t resist a chance to flirt and shoot my shot.
If your curious of the outcome — I failed tremendously.
I didn’t even know it was possible to suck this hard with women.
But that’s the thing. Experiencing something besides just work, even if that thing is failure with women gave me so happiness. So much motivation to improve my game, to have fun, to learn how to dance, anything besides studying web dev and working.
Im left torn by living life and enjoying my youth or pursing freedom and generational wealth for my family. I feel guilty even having to decide.
As someone who’s gone or successfully going through the fastlane, what is your advice for me? Hunker down and grind it out? Sacrifice the little time a have to pursue my goals in order to experience this life im living? Perhaps im thinking too narrowly.
