    edit: excuse me, it's actually day 17.

    So I met this really cute, funny, exciting girl at work. We hit it off, and holy shit, I start thinking that this is exactly my type of girl.
    Silly me, starts thinking "she is 'the one' "... so naturally, after hitting it off for a bit, I find out she has a boyfriend, and I'm left crushed.
    But the fact that I'm handling this fairly well - as I suspect that in my MO-addiction days I would have a depression breakdown after this - it makes me even more so want to continue this streak, and make nofap a lifestyle that I will have for life! I don't feel no self-pity because of this, but I would before. I'm actually instead feeling self love, self compassion. I am worthy of a happy life just like everyone else, so why should this hold me down? Besides, there's plenty of fish in the ocean.

    Also, the fact that I could talk with this girl so freely is in itself amazing since I've been awful socially before nofap. This is definitely not something I could do before, and I feel a much stronger to connection with everyone around me.

    Oh and did I mention that nofap actually gave me this job? My first job ever. On around day 4 of nofap I applied for this job, which I made a thread about then, and yeah, I got the job!! It's just because I manned up and stopped looking for instant pleasure in fapping every day.

    Also, I can communicate much better with people.

    I feel sad and awesome at the same time right now. It's really strange.

    Anyway, just wanted to let out these thoughts, and I can't tell you guys how much this whole experience mixed with happiness and sadness just makes me want to continue this nofap-journey even more than ever! Take care you guys! Remember to love yourself!
