I was checking out the self-improvement tag to see how popular it was for a post I might make, and stumbled upon your post here! I checked your blog and it seems that this is your first post after being gone since mid-2017. That's crazy!
This was an interesting read; I've read a bit about stoicism before thanks to @fknmayhem here who has written some things about it in the past. Welcome back, hope you stick around and maybe make an #introduceyourself post to re-introduce yourself to the platform. :)
