I definitely have.

Had to use my vacation savings to get my shit back together, get another car (and subsequent build), and now that I'm thinking of ending things with the gf, and I graduate from 6 years of undergrad in literally a week, I can seriously realistically start looking at travelling which I currently have planned for 2020 for the Tokyo Summer Olympics.
I've been talking recently with my closest friends and coworkers about my situation, and how I really need time by myself, with friends, just to catch up and talk over beer or dinner or what not. I've come to the realization now that I'm nearly 24, that it's impossible for me to truly appreciate and love anyone else if I don't appreciate and love myself as much as I should, and I'm almost becoming closer with my family again.
I took a look at myself in the mirror last night before I showered, I was honestly pretty disgusted by what I saw, goals that I've set for myself haven't been achieved yet, both in my personal and professional life, and my physical condition is nowhere near where I want it to be.
So for April, my birthday month, I've promised myself that I'm going to learn to love myself more, treat myself right, and just put myself out there and live my life without any regrets, whether that means hanging out by myself, hitting the gym as much as I possibly can, eating healthy, ending the relationship I'm in right now that I'm unhappy with, and heck I wouldn't even be against meeting girls to go out for dates or coffee or whatever theoretically speaking.
