yeah, i try to stay practical

i'm far from a shining example of self discipline in several areas... but i try to gradually improve as i go along

i'm finally in a place of relative tranquility after years being either homeless or too poor to be able to avoid the constant stimulation from other people, so it's a bit of a process of reclaiming my own opinion in this as well, i am quite prone to being accommodating to those i am around but now i have a lot more control over that, and i think it shows because i'm exerting more positive influence on the people i choose to be around
