    1. I was priveledged enough to have positive role models and grow up in an environment where I could form platonic friendships with girls.

    2. I started training martial arts at 14.

    3. I made a fuck tonne of mistakes, took responsibility, and learned from them.

    4. I kept coming back to my foundational beliefs and continually adjusting my behaviour to reflect them.
