>go be something
I'm the one I had to be. Somewhere in Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Don't pretend to be something else than you.
It sounds like a cheesy sport brand slogan but it's important to be /comfy/dent with yourself anyway the fails you must (and you will) encounter in your life. Stay strong and loyal to yourself.
I sometimes think I burned my young years being in the destruction of myself (you know, sex drug and rock'n roll cacas). Doing drugs, don't care about education, cannot maintain good relationship with loved ones...
Then I grew up. I now take the life with more pragmatism, stopped being a nihilist quack (more a cynical cool dude). Had a decent job, take care of my family, have nice hobbies, shrimple pleasures and have a way healthier life. Sure I have regrets but life goes on and the past cannot be changed, so I work to build a better future as I enjoy the present.
You can do it. We all can do it frens.
