my peak introvert behavior was when I never ever had those alcohol nights in college. i only later transformed into a pure alcoholic post-grad during my Europe tours LMAO
I never hang out with friends for alcohol. to say...I& #39;m kind of the nerd in status. I also blame biopsychology for the lectures on alcohol vs the brain. I& #39;m a coffee drinker. That completely changed once I went to Europe and BOOM
+++++completely comfortable drinking alone. I guess I& #39;m never fond of social drinking unless it& #39;s my super close friends (Who are not alcoholics themselves) so it& #39;d never happen.
Those years between graduating college until I& #39;m like 23 were like the hardest transition years of my life because I never knew where to go. I also had painful heartbreaks from stupid relationships because I was not yet mature enough to handle them. All pushed me to drink.
My first job was SHIT. I stopped believing in the local clinical psych because I worked with a shtty psychologist who only cares for money. Then realized my true calling was on academia and research so I went there and left clinical practice. Still in the difficult times...
My happy and sad meters went on and off. Those years I felt like I was being pushed here and there by life experiences. Some fave family members also passed away. I felt like swimming in a constant river of emotional wreckage. Life slowly went back on track in 2019...
Cheesy as it may seem but in 2019 I found TWICE and life has been very kind to me. I found a stable source of my financial needs. A good job. I networked with better people = better relationships. ~~2020 not really a bad year but a year of important decisions~~
Minus the pandemic, 2020 was a good year. I went out of my comfort zone. If I didn& #39;t push myself out of it, I would have never met the significant people for the career I am building now. SO GUYS PLEASE GO FIGHT OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONES!
And now we arrive in 2021. 25 and better. The wound I gained from the previous years became tattoos on my skin. I am proud of my struggles because they are the reason why I became who I am now.
So that& #39;s it.
