Well I hovered at 4999 and was holding off for something profound to say but I gave up on that. So instead I decided to take stock of my current hobbying habits..... financially since september I've spent 28% of what I normally would have spent possibly even less since this is a conservative estimate.... similarly time spent hobbying is down to 19% of what it used to be and even that's a bit misleading as this is a result of a bunch of appointments in the last 2 months. Time on terb..... probably still too much but I haven't engaged in many long ongoing threads bickering with people and getting into pissing matches so that's good too I guess. As for lessons learned..... the big one is separating fantasy from reality and making an effort to interact with women in regular dating situations okay that's actually two lessons.
Okay enough looking back....
Now looking forward.....
Probably sticking with massages over SPs and SCs due to the risks/costs that I'm willing to take/spend.
From non hobbying perspectives I directed money towards some positive things (e.g major things for my home) but in the last couple of months there have been money spent on negative things which I plan on cutting out as it was causing me to spend too much money and I also found myself doing things that I later felt guilty about not to mention noticing that in the last couple of weeks I had neglected to do things that my friends had come to know and expect from me. Anyways, lets just say that I learned an important lesson before it ruined me financially or destroyed my friendships. I knew I had to make a serious and quick change if there are things in my life that I found I could no longer confide in my friends. Furthermore, this nasty habit led to the spike in my hobbying habits. The irony is that my career has never been better I am doing things faster than ever and keeping on top of things such that my weekends are more often becoming free of major work.
I guess if I had something important to say for this milestone is "take an honest look at the things that you do and decide how it impacts you, your health, your finances, your friends and your family and take action before it's too late."
I really hope this doesn't come across as preachy or holier than thou because I am a man of many flaws and it's my hope that people can recognize when they have a problem and take action before it's too late. Things can't improve if you can't start with yourself.
