I finally figured it out (best thing i've ever written)

[Jokerlsk]

I've always been a kind of negative person. I look for the bad in the good, and I'm my hardest critic. I'm a good, even great writer in my own right, and up until this week I've never noticed it. My friends, and girls especially have always told me how talented I am, and how good my songs/poems are, but up until now I've always shrugged it off, and have said, "Thanks, but it's not that good." I've always used this response! Everytime i've been given a compliment. Isn't there something wrong when others can find something great in you, but you, yourself fail to do this? Screw that. I'm sick of that, and today I was a totally different person. Why live for the worst, when the best is staring right in front of you, why underachieve when you can do anything, and why live a life full of "what ifs" and "regrets" when you can have everything you've ever wanted. Now, ask yourself, what is it that you want most in life? No, it's not a girl, it's not an object, it's not even something you can touch. Guess what? it's happiness. Pursue Happiness by exceeding in what makes you great. Obtain confidence by showing the world what you have and putting everything on the table. Don't be afraid to show the world what you are. Why be afraid of yourself? Yourself is all you've got, today is all you've got, your life is all you have. Don't waste your precious time. Like a good friend told me once, "You don't know how to live until you know how to die." Don't wait until it's too late to change paths. Do it right now, and have no regrets. Take everything, and give even more back.
The path to being a DJ isn't about girls, sex, or money. It's about finding happiness in yourself, others, and what you have. Once you discover how great you are other things fall into place.
Don't waste your lives guys. Today is all you've got.

It is good that you come to this realization. But be warn that your mind is acts like a girl with pms. It constantly changes it mood and perspective. Some days, you would see things in the positive, some days you will put yourself down again. Just remember this moment again when it happens.

Wow Jokerisk. That was pretty impressive. What happened to you to make you figure all that out in such a short period of time? Just two days ago you were saying that you needed a girlfriend to reach "self satisfaction",and now all of the sudden you seem to have realized that the key to happiness was already within you the whole time. I guess you do take some of the advice given to you by the members here. To be honest man,this post of yours actually reminded me of Interceptor for some reason. It sounds like something he would say. I hope this is a true realization,and not just something you're repeating that you've heard.

Alright man. Since you have this realization,then no more crazy threads from you. No more doom and gloom threads over some girl who you didn't get a date with. No more conclusions about how you "can't" get a girl or a date. Now of course,you're going to have good days and bad days,and yes,it will suck if you like a girl and she doesn't like you back,and if you need to vent a little from time to time,that's ok because all those things are temporary.

I'm talking about when you say things about your life not being fulfilling or meanful because of something that's outside of yourself that you don't have.
Nothing outside of yourself,no woman,no amount of money,no friend,no object,no nothing will fulfill you. They might add to you life,but they won't make it complete. Wait,what am I doing telling you this? You already figured this stuff out on your own.

Anyway,nice post for a 16 year old.

Peace man.

Well, actually, I was reading a book the past couple days, and the protagonist of the story seemed to be just like me. He was too busy trying to figure out how to live his life than he actually was enjoying it. I get inspiration from things like this, and the book really helped me realize what i am, and what I can be. I won't be making many threads about girls anymore because I don't care about that now. I understand now that if i become a happy person, and if I become content with myself things like girls and confidence will come. I'm living the best years of my life, so why worry about petty things? I should be trying to live every moment to the fullest.
BTW, thanks for the comparison to Interceptor, but I've got a long ways to go until i'm up to his caliber.
My new goal is to live life with no regrets, and if I live life to the fullest I won't have any of them.

Regrets are part of life as to err is human.

Regrets are part of life as to err is human.

yeah so true...

regretting is OKAY. dwelling in them isnt.

to choose to not regret is like choosing to not learn from past mistakes/deeds. that shouldn't be the way.

Good ****ing going man!

I realised some 2 months ago that life is to short so be sulking and waiting for something to happen. Now I've started working out, and martial arts. I went last week abroad for the weekend (The other country is 2h away) with my friends. Which most of them are players (not DJ though).
Guess who got most of the chicks?
You're right!
Dude, I've been smiling like a retard since then also

Thanks guys. I feel great, like nothing can go wrong

Even if something goes 'wrong' or 'awry', it doesn't mean it can't lead to something 'right'. I went from an AFC in a bad relationship to a college BMOC with social proof and a classy dresser with a positive attitude. Self-improvement is the #1 way to go, cuz if you don't have yourself, what can you claim TO have?

 

[Jokerlsk]

Exactly. Good point DarkShade. Everyone has potential, and every one can and will change theirselves if they genuinely want to. Today was a great day, and I feel so much more improved. Look at what a positive attitude can do! People have actually noticed a difference in 2 days. This one girl who happens to be popular told me I looked different today, and I asked how, and she told me, you just seem happier. I'm finally leaving my AFC's ways, and i'm never going back.
