I am the rookie. I am the guy that is new, inexperienced, unnoticed, and waiting. I have the untapped potential to seize the day and make it mine. This is my story and it begins now.
Hello everyone. I am turning over a new leaf in my life. Why the sudden change? Many reasons to be exact.
But in order to understand where I'm coming from, one has to accept and deal with his past demons. So, if you really have time to read this, I welcome all comments and feedback.
This all started with college. A new beginning. New friends. New environment. I was so sick of the word "new" that I'd rather prefer the familiar environments I've grown accustomed to, like my boring hometown(excluding my parents). With the many "new" things heading my way, I felt overwhelmed.
I was transferring to a new school. Trying to branch out to new friends. Got new room mates. All within the first couple of days. And it didn't stop there. New classes. New people. Actually, 50,000 other people. Didn't know what to expect. And they didn't expect me to make it this far. I didn't even expect to make it this far.
Here I am today. 21 years old. Single. Still don't know what I want in life. And I've forgotten where I've come from. I have forgotten the little things in my life that have made me happy. The essentials: God, friends, video games, writing, drawing, and shooting movies. These are the things away from the troubles of corrupt graduate students, trying to impress the ladies, and fitting in this "crowd" of the social norm that everyone expects you to do.
This will change. I am standing firm in my own beliefs, my own ways, and who I am in principle. I am sticking to my essentials in life and I know if I hold onto them, they'll get me where I need to be. I don't need the luxuries of facebook and worries of girls to get in my way every time I need more in my life.
Don't get me wrong: girls are wonderful. One hug alone from them can completely change your whole mood for one day. But alas, not everyone is fortunate to embrace a friendly hug from a pretty girl ever day. It would be blasphemous.
Now is the present. I live in the moment. Not in the past. Not worrying about the future. I am starting a new.
So beginning today, I officially quit facebook. For two weeks. If things go well, I'll bump it up to a month. If they don't, I'll continue my dronal life, keeping tabs on people.
Wish me luck. Because I'll need it!
Oh, and I watch this every time I'm down. Or want to be inspired.
It works!
Good night and live well world.
I will keep tabs on my progress away from facebook on here. If it's vitally important for those who take interest in my life anyways...
There will be tons of projects on the way to occupy my time away from facebook. I'm talking tons and tons of photoshop. Might even do after effects. Simple projects, nothing major until I get back on my feet.
