Kept me going? People might not like to hear stuff like this, but when my career was in the shitter it was: anger, resentment, bitterness, hate

All these things gave me the energy to get out of bed. I was a dead husk of a person, a total piece of shit, but eventually I got back up.

I can’t lie these worked out shockingly well, when I was younger, but I just don’t have the energy now nor do I have anyone/thing to motivate that anger.


I took those same feelings and and use them to start doing sports like running and martial arts. Whole new person now.

That, and a huge load of psychological introspection to figure pit why I had those feelings in the first place.
