how you've grown

Changing for the worst

although i enjoyed reading posts in this thread, i somehow managed to avoid posting in here myself mainly because after reading some of the stories in the thread, well lets just say nothing like reading about someone else's problems to make you see how good you have it.
so why post now? well last weekend at nationals, i drank, became drunk for the first time.....o what am i saying, i was fucking wasted. I could not believe it the next morning, how is this significant? lets start a few years back

back then
you see growing up, my mom always took me to Sunday school[no choice, but i liked it], hardcore christian parents. My mom absolutely hated cursing and drugs, she was fine with alcohol but still did not offer it to me. as a teen you can say my parents had the perfect son, i had grown to despise cursing, i even looked down on kids my age who cursed. i absolutely hated drugs and how set was i in my religious ways? well as sad as it is, lets just say in my early high school years i turned down sex[although now that i look back on that, i'm glad i did not have sex until i was a bit older in high school] yeap, i would not even dream of having sex before marriage, i wonder if any christian i know has succeeded in doing that actually.
in all this, the main thing for me was alcohol. i hated drugs more because my parents really had no problem with alcohol but i personally [back then] was sure getting drunk would be the one wall that would never crumble. i avoided getting drunk at parties, throughout high school i somehow managed to never get drunk. even college could not get me to drink, i retained this image of a nice, innocent, o so clean boy

Today
now i am sitting here wondering where i lost all my iron clad moral principles. somewhere along the line i began cursing, i got drunk at nationals and the worst part about all of this is my plans for the future. i know i'm going to give drugs a chance in the near future, in fact my plans after i'm 21 would shock many people who know me. when i first put up the weight loss thread, i said i had major motivators for finally losing the weight, well here is one. i am not building a body to die for just to feel better about myself, but i wont get into that because its NSFW. i have also noticed i dont consider the feelings of others as much anymore, for example: there's this cute girl who likes me, i would not mind giving her a chance but the problem is that i have a crush on another girl. now the old me would wait to get over the girl i actually have a crush on before going out with the other girl who likes me, or i would atleast let her know i'm not interested at the moment......but nope, i am going to now use this girl who likes me as a distraction, i have no interest in her but i need something to make me forget about MY crush. i will most likely end it after i feel better[or maybe i'll fall for this girl in the process, who knows]. I have not asked her out yet so i might not even do this, but the point is that in the past i would not even consider using her like this.
it scares me sometimes to think about what i would write in this thread a year from now. i only hope that i'll always remain a nice and somewhat humble person, after all those are the only qualities i seem to have kept throughout the years.
 
You know Ninahaza, it seems like you're being a bit too hard on yourself. There are far worse things in the world than cursing and drinking. With cursing... they're just words, right? And with getting drunk, well, pretty much everyone has gotten drunk at least once in their lives. It doesn't make you any worse of a person. Some of my friends go out and get drunk pretty much every night, but they are still perfectly nice people. I don't know you at all, but the fact that you're even reflecting on all of this and feeling so bad about it really speaks to your character, so chin up! :toast:

And as for that girl you're now giving a chance, who knows? Maybe you'll end up liking her a lot more than you thought you would. As long as you make it clear to her from the beginning that you don't want anything that serious, it's perfectly fine, since you've been honest and she can decide for herself if she's ok with keeping things casual. You seem like a really nice person, and you should be particularly proud of yourself for sticking with that diet (no matter what your motivations)!
 
yeah lanturn i agree, when it comes to cursing, they are just words. i just for the longest time did not look at it that way, i blame my upbringing. i blame my upbringing for a few things, for how shitty i feel after doing things that should not be that big of a deal.

yeah, i am thinking about what to do. i may even just wait till i get over my current crush, that way i can give this girl a serious chance. its just that, well it sucks having a crush on someone you want to forget.....for multiple reasons

edit: also thanks for the compliments ^__^
 
Dammit, I've just regressed hardcore.

My girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me due to "underlying issues" in our relationship meaning she couldn't handle us being apart, so basically she was insecure as hell.. That meant I shaved my head, because she banned me from doing it, while on an end of school bender in malaga, so i now look like a mugger. I am not so upset at looking like a mugger though. This does however mean I am currently unemployable because apparently i am not approachable enough to work in costa. This means my plans to go interrailing in the late summer are dependant on my parents genorosity, which is risky at best, and they always bite back harder when I ask them for money. like a loan shark or something. Also having left school means I wont see the majority of my friends again because i was at boarding school so we are scattered all over England. Meeting up in London for a big night out every now and then is cool but its not the same.

However I guess i should be thankful, I've never had social problems, always been cheery and never stopped, and never had girl issues, which seems to be everyone else's mantra of self ciriticism. also exams are coming up and im kinda confident for three A's out of 4 - american translation is "pretty good sat result".

ANYONE GOING TO EXETER UNI IN SEPTEMBER? ECONOMICS?

just asking

ALSO @ Ninhaza: just go for the girl who likes you, relationships are organic, so give it a chance to grow and if the conditions arent right then at least you've probs made the other girl jealous / aware of your pulling power

i hope to never use a girl to make another girl jealous, the pulling power part i can see
 
Ninihaza I think that you have probably become more likeable than you were before. I didn't really know you back when you were "perfect" but through what you said I am under the impression that you probably alienated yourself from your peers. The way you are acting is very healthy (not physically lol). You are establishing yourself as a person. You can even see it in your physique now. You weren't happy before so you let your body waste away, but when you started to let go and be more "human" you felt happier and decided to create a healthier lifestyle for yourself. How many pounds have you lost now? 100? Seriously.

You remind me of the first time I got drunk (the IRC chat can still be found in the hands of Huy >.>). That night, I got totally shitfaced and did a lot of regrettable things. But you're going to go through life learning that you will do stupid things always. Maybe being drunk wasn't such a great idea? Learn from the experience and don't drink too much next time. That's what essentially I've been trying to do, with moderate success.

And what's wrong with losing weight to look better? Apart from health reasons, the motivation to get fit is to look attractive to society and your peers, especially the opposite sex. I think you're definitely being too hard on yourself, and going the wrong way about this. You're a great person, and trying to lose weight so that you can look better is a good thing, as long as you don't let yourself grow too arrogant about it. Keep on trucking dude, and you'll be fine and you got the rest of us behind you.
 
im the same loser i have always been. and will most likely stay like that for the rest of my life. -.-

elementry - really shy. (still am)
middle school - shy akward nervous (still am)
high school - started to be even more embaressed because my last name means lesbien so people laughed every role call. i guess the only thing that change is that my name doesnt bother me anymore. and i stand up for myself ore offtend. so not everything sucks. xD
