-    <p>
-        Since reading Ray Peat's work and drastically improving my wellbeing, something that had been declining for years, I've
-        been thinking more and more often about the phenomenon of learned helpless and its relevance to my life. Sometimes,
-        looking back to past times is useful to help reorient yourself in the present and aim towards a more desirable future.
-        Sometimes, a new perspective or experience might instantly obliterate previous behaviour without any sort of concerted
-        mental or physical grunt to eradicate it.
-    </p>
-    <p>
-        On the flipside, I have sometimes hopelessly tried to forcefully change my behaviour, employing all the en vogue self-help tricks
-        to form long-term habits, only to practically immediately lose them not long afterwards. These kinds of experiences remind me of those
-        hypnosis advertisements that claim to have you give up smoking after just a few sessions; sometimes it's even after just one visit. There's no short
-        supply of stories of miracle cures or sudden, permanent breaks of addiction. Cold-turkey clean cuts that seem to arise with no obvious
-        effort on the part of the addict, no signs of worn willpower.

-        When I was sixteen I spent six weeks abroad in a small town called Marburg in Hesse, Germany. Those six weeks were spent
-        living with a new family along with my exchange student, who had lived six weeks with me and my family just prior to my
-        arrival in Germany. Six weeks of school, new acquaintances, a new language (albeit one I had been "studying" in the
-        Australian school system) and unfamiliar cultural quirks.

-    <p>
-        It was a barrage of stimulation, I came home every day from school and would collapse, totally exhausted, onto my
-        exchange student's bed, which was mine for the duration of the stay. It's not like I was actually expected to
-        <i>learn</i> anything or do any homework whilst I was at school here&mdash;I was basically on holidays and could really
-        have just treated it as such. Plenty of my own friends who had taken a similar trip certainly did. I'm not manyt of them
-        learnt or used much German beyond <i>Wo ist McDonalds?</i>. But I had been gradually becoming more fascinated with the
-        structure of German before arriving. Once there, especially at that age I presume, the Deutsch on the blackboard in
-        biology class looked more like a sophisticated puzzle game than a complete drag of a memorisation task. Each day was a
-        new game of deductive guesswork, and better still, I got to play with new ideas about how the language works every day
-        in the schoolyard with new friends I was making. New ways to describe how things are situated and move in relation to
-        one another, mysterious new prefixes and other linguistic building blocks, and the insane backwards word order of German
-        provided unlimited entertainment to see if I was up to the challenge.

-        nothing short of amazing to my adolescent self. I had never seen anything like it. Some of my classmates would stand out
-        the front of school during lunchtime and smoke a couple of cigarettes with their own teachers, something that still to
-        this day I find kind of insane. It certainly would never have been acceptable back at home. Starting in the senior

+        When I was sixteen I spent six weeks abroad in a small town called Marburg in Hesse, Germany. Those six weeks were spent
+        living with a new family along with my exchange student, Arne, who had been staying with my family for the six weeks
+        prior. Those were six exciting weeks of school, new acquaintances, a new language (albeit one I had been "studying" in

+        learnt or used much German beyond <i>"Wo ist McDonalds?"</i> I, on the other hand, thanks to a romantic summer fling,
+        had been gradually becoming more fascinated with the structure of German before arriving. Once there, especially at that
+        age I presume, the Deutsch on the blackboard looked more like a sophisticated puzzle game than a
+        complete drag of a memorisation task. Each day was a new game of deductive guesswork, and better still, I got to play
+        with new ideas about how the language works every day in the schoolyard with the new friends I was making. New ways to
+        describe how things are situated in space, adverbs for how they move in relation to one another, mysterious new prefixes and other quaint linguistic
+        quirks, like the insane backwards word order of German, provided unlimited entertainment to see if I was up to
+        the challenge. I practically spent all my time in class ogling the immaculate chalk handwriting of the various teachers,
+        trying to work out what on Earth was going on. For some strange reason, it was a kind of bliss.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        On top of this, I was in the grade just above mine back home in Australia. Whilst that really shouldn't have made much
+        difference, the amount of responsibility and independence these kids were allowed to exercise at sixteen or seventeen was
+        nothing short of amazing to my adolescent self. I had never seen anything like it. Some of my classmates would stand out
+        the front of school during lunchtime and smoke a couple of cigarettes with their own teachers, something I find kind of insane
+        still to this day; it certainly would never have been acceptable back at home. Starting in the senior
+        school, you were allowed to just leave and go home if you didn't have anywhere to be, so long as you were back in time
+        for class. And we did. School uniforms simply weren't part of the culture either. For everyone else this perhaps just meant stressful decision making,
+        another way to play the oft cruel status games of teenagerhood, but for me it was like every day was casual dress day back
+        home. To top it all off, the legal drinking age in Germany is sixteen, at least for wine, beer, and other weaker drinks.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        These classmates of mine were running their own meetings headed by the <i>Klassensprecher</i>, the class
+        representatives, and much unlike similar candidates back home, they actually seemed cool, they seemed like people I
+        might like to hang out with and befriend. Alongside making decision making about general school organisation, they would
+        organise class bus trips, we saw a local band comprised of kids from the local schools, and for the first time I drank
+        alcohol with everybody, just hanging out and left to our own devices. It was a sense of freedom and self-responsibility
+        that wasn't afforded to me by the school system back home. Increasingly Australia, and especially Victoria, from which I
+        hail, is branded as a "nanny state", and my experiences in Germany reinforce that.

+        I really felt like I was in the midst of some sort of Hollywood production, an atmosphere that didn't quite seem tangible in
+        Australia. The intersection in the Venn diagram of taking on of responsibility and having free reign was
+        vanishingly small amongst teenagers. Either you wagged class and/or did drugs, or obediently followed the rules. As the
+        years went by, the fine line between the two seemed to vanish further and further, at least from where I was standing.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        Back in Australia, a routine had begun to solidify itself leading up to this trip. It was a routine of coming home,
+        maybe doing homework, and then browsing Reddit and playing hours of Team Fortress 2. I had racked up an impressive 2000
+        hours in-game. It seemed fairly inconsequential to me, and my high school friends, unlike primary school, were mostly
+        fragmented, and so on weeknights I didn't find myself hanging out with many people regularly. I did try to get Team Fortress
+        working on the old computer my host family had in Germany, just for fun, but to no avail. However, even whilst
+        attempting to get it set up, something about it began to seem like an entirely futile endeavour.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        When I arrived back in Australia, it was as if a switch had been flipped. I all but stopped playing Team
+        Fortress, a regular staple of my free time. Practically overnight it seemed to have turned from being an incredibly
+        seductive way to pass the time to being a colossal <i>waste</i> of it. I just stopped playing cold turkey, and as far as I could tell, no
+        effort went in to the dissolution of that habit whatsoever.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        I'm not exactly sure what facet of my overseas trip pushed me to change my behaviour so effortlessly, but I think it was
+        the culmination of the incredibly enriched environment. As I have looked back on those times over the past few years, especially since
+        discovering Ray, I can't help but think that I found myself in a "rat park" experiment during that time. Or I perhaps I was one of the rats
+        looking on, watching as others were freed from certain death by drowning. My habits in Australia suddenly seemed dull and useless, like I was stuck in
+        what the Germans call a <i>goldener Käfig</i> or <i>gilded cage</i>; basically trapped in a environment forged by
+        my own riches and good intentions. Participating in the foreign exchange program widened my horizons. I could see that, indeed, what
+        I was missing out on <i>was</i> possible, and I had the power to change my lifestyle.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        It would be nice if I could now say that I've since enjoyed a deeply enriched life and everything has been hunky dory, but alas
+        I wouldn't be a fan of Ray's if I didn't encounter a struggle or two along the way. But I seems to have profoundly changed the course of my
+        life for the better. Ever since then, I've found it extremely difficult to waste my days away without having a
+        sense of direction in my life. Though this has, some times more than others, been a source of anxiety. I certainly don't think I
+        would have found it so simple to move abroad and continue to learn German whilst living, studying, and working in Munich for
+        several years like I have been if I had never gone on that trip.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        So I guess, in that respect, watching your fellow rats have a good time, in real life, might just get you to settle for
+        no less. One look at those old menial habits and&mdash;<i>poof</i>&mdash;they're gone. And for that I'm grateful.
+    </p>
