"yes, but everyone believes they are above average" she replied implying that the majority are mistaken. She I mean this super sexy surfer Swedish chick (yes, of course she has blond hair and blue eyes) at the coding bootcamp I've started attending.
New exciting times are here for Ivan.
I've begun a full intense coding bootcamp to become a "full stack developer" with a company called Le Wagon. Apparently one of the best coding camps in the world. Yesterday I had my first day and I've already learnt so many things about computers that I never imagined I'd know. How to use the terminal and bash control as well as the principles of ruby. This will really be something. During the prep work they've already shown me the basics of CSS HTML Javascript and Ruby... They sound scary, but when they explain them to you they are actually more simply than I thought. Apparently by week 6 we will code our own version of airbnb.
After a 2022 where I was sad for quite a while (maybe even depressed for a brief period), because of that girl that i feel for, and our thing didn't quite work out... I am finally feeling like myself again. Yes that girl that was nothing like me, did not want a similar lifestyle to mine, and lived on the other side of the world who for some inexplicable reason my little heart somehow thought she could of been the one. Who knows why? The affairs of the heart are always a mystery. Thankfully, I am back to feeling great and eating the world.
I've been telling others that I've been feeling great since June or July, but I think I really started to feel well by the end of September after my trip to Colombia. I can now safely say again that I am the happiest boy in the world.
Its also funny whenever I think of that line, I refer to myself as the happiest boy not man... There must be some deep thought inside of me that still classifies me as a boy, specially when talking about this pure uncorrupted infant happiness that I feel. As if happiness was more real, more accessible being a boy.
So why start this post talking about the average person? Well, because probably inside of me, my arrogance and ego does think that I am above average. Yes, she can be right in thinking that we all think we are, but in my case I think others would agree. Sometimes I just forget all the reasons I have to be happy.
At 23 I started my 5th (but first successful) business. At 24 I had made way more money than I thought I'd be making. I've travelled to over 64 countries and im always on the move. I've been an asshole, but conscious enough to recognise it and change (or at least make great efforts towards changing) my behaviour. I have made wealth, got reckless, careless but mainly lazy and and somehow still managed to keep it (even thought my successful company is not running as well as it once was). I keep learning. Daily. Improving. And of course, as always, I have many more plans and ideas for the future. My next project is almost ready and will probably be done before im done with the coding camp. And then there are those other things laying around that will also drop soon.
The only things I need to work on the most are discipline and consistency. If I crack those down I will become a monster (in the best way).
Overall, things are great. I am allowing myself to be more flexible with my goals, and to stop beating myself up for the mistakes in my past. And yes, there have been many.
As always, I don't really go over these, and they are more of a liberation for myself than trying to make a point.
The main point here is --- I am back.
