Growing up my parents were shitty. Dad was on drugs and incarcerated , mom was very young and unreliable. I had to rely on myself from a young age. This caused me to not seek validation as it wasn't available, regulate my emotions internally. I wasn't always like this I had a rough phase of drinking and partying alot as a young adult. In my early twenties i had no financial support and had to grind shitty jobs like busboy , valet , bartending. Housing was always an issue too as neither of my parent's could support me.

Now With my financial stability and self reliance i feel I give on non needy and mature energy. I'm also only 25 as my life has improved the game has only got easier. I wouldn't trade my upbringing for anything because it has taught me to save myself and put myself first. Women usually admire my story and although I don't have traditional family structure they respect the drive and autonomy I've built for myself.

I do think that self work , discipline, and self awareness magnify your presence in dating and life in general. I also posted this to inspire some young men to go out in to the world and just try.. don't be afraid to fail.. be afraid of not even trying. Life hasn't been easy but what I've learned is consistency and discipline is rewarded. Life's not too bad now in that I have my own apartment, Career, car , etc ..most importantly peace and stability that I never had growing up. What I love about the pursuit of woman is that it's really just self improvement and self respect that we work on
