My name is Paul.
I've joined Partiko because someone I know inspired me to after reading some of her posts.
A little about current me:
My Jung type is INTJ. I'm a Virgo. I'm currently working towards a degree in Information Technology. I tutor college level English and Mathematics. I'm an activist for NoFap. I'm constantly learning new things, but my major topics of interest are physics, math, biology, psychology, and spirituality. I spend most of my free time reading, meditating, and adventuring. I love hiking, kayaking, and weightlifting whenever I get the chance.
A little about past me:
I had an upbringing with a little too few restrictions and an unstable, toxic parental relationship to be inspired by. I blame nobody but myself for my actions as an adolescent, but I also forgive myself. I got into drugs at a very young age and produced my own personal demise into hell with them. By the time I was 19, I'd composed a notebook containing trip reports from between 40-50 different substances I'd experimented with or ended up being addicted to. At the lowest point in my life, I was admitted to psychiatric hospital 3 times over the course of 3 years and was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. While I still dont think that diagnosis was fitting, the cards that were dealt were dealt and I've had to fight my way and rise above my old situation. I can now confidently say I've done that. I plan to write a detailed article here explaining my demise into and rise out of my personal hell that was in my head, soon.
Books I'm reading right now:
Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Looking forward to meeting whoever may come across my first post.
Have a fantastic day.
- Paul
