depends on what your temptations are.

i do what i want when i want to, its caused homelessness, addiction and a whole lot of experiences i wouldnt change for the world.

and yet im not stagnant or sad, ive lived with over 80 people in 4 different states (im Australian) ive done jobs across a dozen industries. now im 31 with no debts and im 57kg at 183cm and work my own business gardening (and literally no support at all, i dont talk to family).

ibe done all this by not resisting but by doing what i want (what i actually want to, not what society wants me to want. when i was young i wanted simple base pleasures, as ive gotten older my wants have changed to security and stability, skilled hobbies etc).
