Good starter post!

I worked too much, but had nothing to show for my money because I had no time to do figure out what with it. So I just spent it on stuff. I was overweight, alcoholic, my personal life was in shambles. All my friends were work friends, or drinking friends.

I had stopped liking my job. I certainly hated my life. In short - I just had enough of it.

So I gave away all the stuff in my apartment. Did not have much anyway because I was hardly in it. And I left the country I was working in. I stopped working for about a year. I stopped spending money on stuff I don't need.

I finally watched TV and films I never had the time to see.

I bought a piece of shit boat that eats up my money but gives me projects to work on and something outside of my career industry to do.

I have a garden. I grow herbs, flowers, and some stuff for food. In the summer I had tomatoes and blueberries. My winter garden is struggling a little because it has been warmer. But everyday I have fresh rocket, lettuce, spinach, chives, basil etc. We just had a frost so I can pick some oranges.

I used to only read things for work. Now I have time to read, though I spent a lot of time on Reddit. But I don't spend a lot of time there now because of their censorship and "wokeness". I am part of the LGB community, and female, and not white - but the woke have become too intolerant. Now I look for my own sources and post here if I enjoyed something.

I eat healthy. I go to the gym (have been open for a few weeks now). Though I fell off the bandwagon during corona isolation I am getting back into the swing of things, and back into form.

I actually have time to see family. Though sometimes I prefer not too. Can't pick them...

I am working again, but have a better approach to balancing that now. But now I am saving money instead of buying all the things.

What about you?
