“The truth is that I'm a bad person. But, that's gonna change - I'm going to change. This is the last of that sort of thing. Now I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm gonna be just like you. The job, the family, the f***ing big television. The washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electric tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisure wear, luggage, three piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing gutters, getting by, looking ahead, the day you die.”

I am a person of many interests but no skills. For instance, one day I would like to draw portraits. But am I putting in the time required? Of course not. Same applies to creative writing, pixel art, playing in a band. But the problem is that - should I put in the effort - I can only follow one or two of my dreams only. Thus far I've been able to practice bass regularly, and that's what counts.

Here's a deep quote I stumbled upon while reading Mark Manson's Models:
What you resist, persists.Now let that sink in.

I do have a fairly difficult relationship with my friends. On one hand, they are nihilistic and have no will to work towards their goals, only drink beer and smoke weed, but on the other hand, they are the ones who have always been loyal. So now that I want to become a better person, I don't know what to do. I suppose so far I have only worked on my own goals and they were not that much of a bad influence on me (maybe except drinking beer). I'll have to think it through.
