Block that guy, I’ve had him blocked for a few months now. There’s nothing ever positive posted from his acct. Just a shit talker who contributes absolutely nothing.
People here who move the conversation forward tend to like what you post. I’m getting sick of trying to discuss topics and having people trying to just prove that they’re better than you instead of being topical. Even the comedic derailment is getting super old.
Please don’t go because a couple users want you gone. That’s their own problem to figure out and not yours. I ensure you that you add far
More value than anyone wanting you to leave, maybe if you stay they will leave…
Just kidding trolls rarely leave their bridge post.
For sure, love the way @squig types! Keeps it interesting.
I also appreciate your style of writing, how you stay on topic, and more often than not, you add much value to the conversation. Much insight and zero bs from @stoopkid.
I appreciate anybody who has taken the time to develop well thought out responses. There are people like @Graywolf and @Photon_noir who have dropped major knowledge bombs on me, but the people who have grinded through all of the TEK and posted their issues are real MVPs.
I’ve been thinking about this all day, and I wanted to share.
First, thank you EVERYONE! Literally every single person has helped me. Whether through actions, thoughts, or words you’ve helped me tremendously.
I was thinking today, and you know what? I’m happy! Like legit happiness. I’ve been off of psychotropics long enough to have them out of my system, so I’m really feeling me. And shit is OK.
I have been, and am looking forward to the future with purpose and hope. Everything from my past is in my past now. I hold a valid license, and can come and go as I please. I work for someone I have a rediculous amount of respect for, and look up to as an inspiration. Sure, I could do something for myself, but I’m happy to help someone that helps so many. The least I can do is be as stand up for him as he’s been for me.
It took ALLOT of bullshit and work to get to here, but most of the hard work is done. Got kicked in the nuts a couple of times, but I’m better because of it.
Anyway, I love you people. My heart swells at the thought of the love I have for this place, and the amount of caring from you all. Even if think you never given me anything, trust me you have. It’s just you that don’t know it. Thanks for everything you’ve done, and continue to do!
Just wanted to update. The move went smooth and my entire life is now relocated in a medical state with work going nonstop. Couldn’t be more grateful. My daughter starts jiu jitsu tomorrow.
To anyone reading. You can make anything happen if you stay positive and focused on your goal. You may face multiple failures to get to your goal, but I am proof it can be achieved from this forum with a lot of tenacity and not giving up.
One of my favorite things about this forum is watching how far people have progressed in their lives with the help, support, harassment, and love from the people on this forum.
You’re only as good as the people you surround yourself with. I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know, but just wanted to reiterate it. It’s easy to lose sight of the fact that we can only be as good as the examples we surround ourselves with.
Honestly most people I associate with are through here. I can tell you that the members I’ve met and shook hands with were great people. Sure, I’ve been disappointed by some of the things they post, but I haven’t been disappointed in the people I’ve met.
At the end of the day, if change is what you want, it’s a change only you can bring. No one can help you if your not already trying to help yourself. People get so pissed my off at the people around them sometimes because the people can’t change them for them. If that makes any sense. If anything I’m just trying to give you some motivation thumps.
Ultimately, it was me that wasn’t happy. It doesn’t matter who I surround myself with. Those people can never make me happier then I can make myself. Sure, it feels good to have real friends, but it’s certainly not my friend’s fault if I’m unhappy. I’ve had to figure out through time and distance that the only person capable of putting a smile on my face and keeping it there is me.
I’ve wanted to blame others for my unhappiness, but I’ve seen that if I can’t make myself laugh no one else will either. And again, I’m not trying to tell you what to do, it how to do it. I’m just trying iterate what has worked for me! I wish you luck and success in trying to achieve whatever personal successes it’s going to take to have you feeling better about you and life.
The fact that I’m an asshole isn’t your fault, and I’m sorry if you’ve thought this whole time that I hated you. Because I don’t. There’s only 1 person on this Earth that I can’t stand, and hope to never see again. And that person is the mother of my child. It takes too much energy to hate people, and I need that energy to make things better not worse.
I just wanted to tell everyone, again… That I’m so thankful for you all. I really I am. I will literally make all of you so proud to know that you’ve helped me.
Every single one of you got my ass moving. I’m in motion now, and I’m not stopping until I’m dead. I can’t properly articulate just how much all of you have done for me. I can’t properly describe where I was in life when all of you helped me. I’m not even sure if I’d be here if I’d have stayed in AK by now.
I tried so hard for so long that I thought the issue was me. I quit believe in myself, and who I am. I may not be Mr nice guy, but I’m certainly someone you want on your side. I’ve been given another chance at a life I didn’t think I deserved.
I’ve been given a new perspective with the required drive. And I had a couple people believe in me. Right now I’m busy proving who I am, and what I stand for. It’s been fun turning out to be exactly who I say am. People are really blown away sometimes by people that do everything they to be absolutely honest about everything.
I apologize for offending anyone yesterday. I’ll try to watch my jokes better. Or at least my words. But don’t threaten people I work for because you don’t like my jokes. I promise you, if you order the world from us. We’ll bring it to you hand wrapped with a smile. And I’ll build that world for you if you order it through him. But don’t be foolish and think that threatening some bullshit, means anything but bullshit.
If you are about it, then be about it. Don’t tell me that your mad me about actually really and truly being about it. Because I don’t have time for whiners. I’ve been life back, and I’m going to live it. Happily…
