<div class="bbWrapper">Dear Reader,<br /> <br /> It’s over. I can’t live with myself any more. Consider this my resignation to the pitiful cycle I have thus far called my life. How do I begin to express my displeasure? Tedious, dull, flavourless, <b>monotonous</b>. I am a modern day slave, trading <b>five</b> days of lackluster labour for <b>two</b> days of recovery. Usually those two days are spent escaping my problems via my mind as my getaway vehicle, running on fuel in the form of cheap hard liquor and thick, dark beer. Very productive right?<br /> <br /> Let’s take a look at my social life.. I’m not even able to locate it as the flames from the bridges I’ve burned are roaring so loud I can barely open my eyes without being <b>seared</b> by the memories of my <b>anger</b> and <b>embarrassment</b>.<br /> <br /> “How can you not be happy?” the zombie (average Joe) asks. “You are 21 years old with a 50k a year job with nice benefits and a great retirement pension plan, put in the hours and you will retire comfortable!” Maybe they are right… Maybe I’m just being ungrateful. Maybe it’s time to give up on my “childish” dreams and put in the long <b>dreadful hours</b> living frugal so one day I can retire comfortably… “Comfortably<b>” rot away</b> on a beach as the zombies watch and surround me from afar,inching closer and closer waiting to feed off the remaining bit of resources I spent my mundane life acquiring.<br /> <br /> F*ck it I’m not going to put myself through that! No one cares about me.. No one would even notice if I suddenly disappeared.. Might as well <b>END IT</b> <b>NOW</b>… *Grabs shotgun*<br /> <br /> <img src="/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hungover.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hungover:" title="Hungover :hungover:" data-shortname=":hungover:" /> <img src="/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hungover.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hungover:" title="Hungover :hungover:" data-shortname=":hungover:" /> <img src="/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hungover.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hungover:" title="Hungover :hungover:" data-shortname=":hungover:" /><br /> <br /> You probably thought I was going to kill myself didn’t you? Ha! I don’t give up that easy! I’ve got nothing to lose! <b>So I fill my shotgun with bullets of love and aid. </b><br /> <br /> Sorry but not sorry for the misleading title. But it is true. I am ending it tonight. As I write this I begin my journey into breaking free from the shackles of this realm of chaos we call “Normal Society.” It won’t be easy, but if it has been done before over and over again, <b>I</b> <b>know </b>it can be done one more time.<br /> <br /> <b>Now</b> is the time to grind. <b>Now</b> is the time to <b>stuff fear in the garburator</b> and shred it to pieces. <b>Now</b> is the time to <b><i>thrive</i></b>.<br /> <br /> Oh shit I can hear them coming, the zombies are trying to break down our walls. <img src="/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/banghead.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":headbanger:" title="Headbanger :headbanger:" data-shortname=":headbanger:" />Trying to consume us and drag us down with their <b>fear, doubt, </b>and <b>insults. </b>They are getting close.. Good thing I brought plenty of shotguns filled with bullets of <b>love</b> and <b>aid</b> so we can turn these zombies back into the <b>passionate, creative human beings</b> they once were and guide them to <i><b>freedom.</b></i><br /> <br /> So what do you say? Are you in for the journey? We don’t have much time! Grab a gun and follow me or stay behind and get eaten alive by zombies waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!<img src="/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hurting.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hurting:" title="Hurting :hurting:" data-shortname=":hurting:" /><img src="/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hurting.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hurting:" title="Hurting :hurting:" data-shortname=":hurting:" /><img src="/community/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hurting.png" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hurting:" title="Hurting :hurting:" data-shortname=":hurting:" /><br /> <br /> <br /> Hello sorry for the long first post, thanks for reading! My name is Javier I&#039;m 21 from Vancouver, Canada and new to the forum. I stumbled upon the forum months ago but didn&#039;t take any action because I was in the mindset of the top half of my post. I want to thank MJ (for writing a book that saved me in a dark time) and all the awesome people on this forum. I look forward to learning, working hard, and helping others in the hope to find success. My goals right now are mostly based on habits. I.E= I quit drinking, started working out regularly, eating healthy, avoiding negative banter and reading useful books. My first fastlane related goal is to learn copy. My first step was tonight - literally just to write <i>anything </i>(I haven&#039;t written anything since high school<i>.) </i>I will continue with SinisterLexs 15 day challenge, and would appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or just any comments in general. Once again thanks everyone hope you have a wonderful day full of wins!</div>
