I've had a ton, from deciding to move to Russia when I was like 19, to deciding to leave Russia with a 6-month-old baby and start from scratch in Bulgaria when I was 30.

There could have been many paths along the way, so it's hard to say.

One thing that I'm glad I didn't do is steroids when I was 25. the education and information just wasn't there 15 years ago, and I'm 100% sure I would have, at a minimum, messed up my hormone panels and not been paying attention to lipids and all sorts.

Plus what's the point really? I'm not a competitive athlete, and women mostly care about the wallet muscle!

so objectivly, I think that decision would have almost certainly negativly impacted me without giving me any real benefits

What made you leave UK in the first place?

i had gotten quite into learning Russian at like age 17 or so and I was very set on leaving to master the language and live abroad. the thought of staying in the UK at some regular job was simlpy unthinkable

Wow, I was like you. I moved to Japan because I couldn’t imagine living in my motherland all my life.

But I didn’t have the balls to venture to a third country, like you.
