Wow, what a turnaround @robcubbon!
Your life before the change sounds quite depressing, happy to hear you were able to make a 180. And who would have thought that a search for getting laid would spark that?
The craziest little things can give you an insight that will lead you to take the first step in a different direction. And that first step is followed by the next one, and the next one...
And then you find yourself on the beach of Phuket.
Well done for taking control of your destiny, and may it inspire many others!
that's the main thing, @livenowandwow, to inspire others. Hope it does. Yeah, things kind of fell into place for me all at the same time. Something I will be forever grateful for.
