Hey there!

I'm Martin from Austria and I was diagnosed with optic neuritis in 2018. This is incurable and usually leads to multiple sclerosis. In the worst case this means my life is going to suck and that's why I've ditched my old goals and I'm now trying to live my life to the fullest and share it with you as much and as long as possible.

What I've already achieved so far:

• By changing my diet and doing 2-3 cardio workouts per week I've lost about 50 kilograms and went from obesity to normal weight. I'm now also doing strength training 3 times a week because of studies indicating this may reduce brain atrophy.

• I finally stopped smoking - not only for a short duration like I already did multiple times, I stopped forever and nothing's gonna change that.

• After years of living alone I had the courage to tell a woman that I love her... While this didn't work out as expected and she dumped me twice after some months I'm still grateful, this was the most fulfilling time since my diagnosis and I learned that there's nothing more important than happiness and that everyone can and should be happy.

But that's only the beginning!

With your help I'm hoping to be able to find happiness and share that awesome feeling with you and everyone else - either in person or in photographs and articles published on my website.

See you soon! 🥰
