@Jeff Marr Lovely meeting you, Jeff. My name is Ciro, I'm 20 years old, from Argentina, and got into Stoicism after getting into self-improvement/personal development. Prioritised self-improvement for about a year and then lost interest in it and only kept doing the habits that I find meaningful such as building my physique and reading. I started reading and applying some principles from 'A little book of Stoicism' by Jonas Salzgeber and some books of Meditations (stopped reading it about two weeks ago but definitely will get back into it). I find Stoicism to be a very manly philosophy, and also find Stoics to be very intelligent people. Currently, I'm living on my own for the first time and only mentally transitioned from boy to man at the start of last year, so I'm still building myself as a man, and I'm partially doing so by taking some Stoic values and principles into my own life.
