BIOGRAFY JOSIPMARC
Hi, thanks for showing interest in my Bio. My real name is Josip Marincic and I'm born and raised in Austria, where I lived for 26 years. Like everybody in the world I was affected with the Covid-19 Pandemic in my own way. After Covid hit the world I started a lot side Projects (and I failed most of the time) in order to keep myself sane while working, sleeping and sh****ng in the same 4 walls for months.
Everybody has a hard time sometime in their life. That is why I decided to tell my story in order to hopefully help somebody through that difficulties. For you out there struggling right now..... Believe me when I say you are not alone.
Early Life
My childhood was quite normal...... Yeah, that's about that
Thanks for your attention!
Just kidding.....
I won't bother you with boring details, just know that my real life (or at least what I consider a life) began in my 20s after finishing school.
From the time I landed a job at 20 up until I reached the age of 24 I was working really hard on becoming an engineer as fast as possible. Did overtime (up to 13,5h a day) than going to courses, coming home, eat, shower, sleep, repeat.
I barely had time to have any friends nor hobbies. But still I somehow managed everything from meeting friends sometimes, playing guitar and going to the gym while working hard as an engineer.
Until one day I didn't.....
Once I became an engineer the cycle didn't end. It just kept getting more stressful, frustrating and more demanding as I got more experienced and I realised that my health (physical, emotional and psyche) deterrioratet rapidly within a year. From all the sitting I had backpain and had to go to the hospital in order to get medication to continue. I grew increasingly colder and emotionally unstable due to feeling meaninglessnes in my life. I knew I had to do something....... but what?
Modelling
.....was something I tried before. Since I was used to stand in front of a crowd due to being a musician in one form or another almost my entire life. It should not be a problem for me to do photoshootings since I am not shy when it comes to do a job well.
Only thing is.......
THERE WERE NO JOBS
At least not for a male model like me. I am not blessed with a perfect symmetrical face (which is fine for me) that is required for many model jobs. And there was no demand for male Models with long hair.
So the only gigs and photoshoots I did were either very badly paid or not paid at all. Thankfully I didn't quit my job as an engineer in order to persue something else but only reduced my hours. So I was financially well of and had only a bruised ego in that matter.
But the qustion still remained..... What should I do?
My life still circled around and with every day that passed I felt like there was less and less hope of becoming someone I truly wanted to be and do something that I truly wanted to do.
Covid
When Covid hit Europe, I was in Mallorca compeeting on an obstacle course race. The day after I flew home all the flights in Mallorca cancelled and airports in all of Europe shut down.
So I was very lucky to get out there in time
Since all the Gyms were closed down, all the sporty people I knew and I came together to form the Whatsapp group Quarantine Warriors. So we basically started a non profit business with 0 experience in order to stay in shape during Lockdown.
That May I also had to move into my own apartment since I was 25 already at that time and after a big argument with my parents I decided it was time to get a place of my own.
Due to Covid restrictions I had to work from home, while still having a ton of courses in order to justify my next pay raise and managing the Quarantine Warriors while also training with them and in addition I had to plan how to move away.
Note that I moved to an area nearer to my company, but further away from my family. So at that time I was working more than ever before while having restrictions due to Covid.
The pressure was enormous because the client wanted his product finished in time, while being restricted in the process. The Quarantine Warriors was extremly popular with the people who actually took the time to train with us, so there were expectations to be met there too. Friend and family visits were prohibited (Austria had very strict restrictions). I started a Youtube channel in order to make at least any profit at all (German finance channel).
Mildly said: I had difficulties sleeping at night
One day i looked in the mirror and started crying when I saw a man that was looking 15 years older than me staring back at me.
Is that my life now until I die? Sleepless nights? No time for friends nor family of my own? Working a job I'm trying to escape for almost 2 years now? Is that sh*t even worth it?
I had grey skin, deep wrinkles all over my forehead, constantly being nauseous and having back pain. I was literally dying inside as I tried my best gathering all my strength each day to fulfill my duties.
The story continues?
