If the "me" from 2021 could have seen me today, he would be extremely disappointed.
Seeing the list of unfulfilled promises was bad enough.
Even worse was my instinctive reaction to start making excuses. to give myself a pat on the back instead of facing reality.
* I was raising kids (cope)
* I was progressing my career (cope)
* I had depression (cope)
* etc, etc, etc
The only goal I achieved since 2021 was the slowlane trophy of a mortgage.
The truth is, I have been avoiding doing anything difficult since my first attempt at a business (selling phone cases).
And while I've been on autopilot, dutifully collecting the crumbs of dopamine along the scripted path (mortgage payments, job promotions, etc), my appetite has shrunk.
My dreams have disappeared.
5 years ago I was excited for cars, vacations, houses..
Now, I get excited for weekly pizza night.
Part of me wants to say that I've grown up. I'm 32 now. I have responsibilities. And those dreams were shallow and unimportant anyway (unlike my deep dish pepperoni from Dominos)
Maybe that part of me is right, maybe it's wrong.
Was 2021 me a dreamer? Or have I just woken up after sleepwalking for 5 years?
Time to read TMF again.
