Im having inner doubts and conflicts with my other self woadie.

Its like this - when I dig into my heart and ask myself "what do you want to do, what do you REALLY want to do in life" the answers are, non particular order;

travel the world, make a living with my photography and videos, make documentaries about my travels, write books, see places, meet people....that's what i always come up with


but when i go on my facebook, i see couple of my friends living that money life, they ride around in porsches, they post pics from the clubs, bottles, girls, even my girl friends on fb seem like they live some semi hollywood life.....


i wont lie, it irks me...i start feelin this weird...feelin guilty not doing what they do, not drivin those cars, not being in the clubs


and worst part - its as if i hear their voices :why: for example, im goin thru my photos, readin some travel blogs or watching documentaries....and then i see their shyt and feel this complex, as if i hear them say "the fukk you doin you broke fukk, you aint doin right, you gotta be jokin watchin those dumb ass movies about travel, wheres your whip?"

....is it me? is this normal, to be shook by someone with big bank? i dont like it.....

A man that compares himself to others will never be happy. material items isn't a good source of happiness, will leave you feeling empty. Bragging on Facebook is 80% of the pleasure they get from that lifestyle, and even that is a fleeting empty happiness.

Delete your Facebook man, it's not good for your mental health. Keep your eyes on what's important, don't let another man influence how you spend your time... And don't worry what you're experience is totally normal, especially these days with everyone marketing themselves online. These people are trying to convince themselves as much as they are convincing others

yeah it's normal. how Jay-Z say it? "Even righteous minds go through this." Don't nobody wanna be a broke nikka while even the cats with the 08 cars seem like they're balling out of control compared to you.

But know this: even if you dropped everything and focused solely on getting monies and living that life, that voice in your heart that you're at odds with is gonna look at you and be like "why you ain't go chase them dreams you wanted soooo bad? All that 'see the world take these pictures of sheeps on the side of mountains' bullshyt? aint that what you REALLY wanted? you gave up, you quitter!"

and when you die, that voice is gonna laugh.

the evils of truth, and love
that inner voice is pretty demonic


being shook of someone with bank is some product of your enviroment type of stimulation

next time try to remind yourself that those same people thinking they are living it up gettin drunk partying all the time picking out a different car every week are just as much human as the next person it helps keep things in proper perspective

when they get home they eat shyt shower sleep get sick and die just like everybody else usually the difference is they have come to accept that they love that lifestyle of material wealth and have no shame living it

you should feel the same way about your own hearts desires if you want that true inner peace instead of letting social pressures control your destinantion in life

The quicker you stop seeking external validation, the quicker you'll find true happiness. IMO happiness comes from inner peace which is impossible if you are constantly seeking external validation

Becoming addicted to the high that external validation brings can be just as damaging as being addicted to a drug. And it's more dangerous because society encourages it, our economy runs on it.... Quite demonic

You know they act like that way because they are deeply insecure... They need that constant validation because their life philosophy is flimsy and empty.

You are assuming that they are even aware. I've been around enough superficial people to realize its not an act or facade. It fascinates me to see people consumed by the most vapid things like rap music, sports, video games, and material items. It shames me that I am consumed by rap music, sports, and video games.

Either way, people need stop judging others and quit comparing themselves to others.

whether they are self aware or not, they are still trying to make themselves feel worthy by having items that others can't have. totally dead end quest for happiness that never stops

Aw man, I feel ya.

Sometimes, when I see other chicks walking around in Prada and Louboutins, driving Benz's and BMW's, living in a fancy pad, being able to travel wherever/whenever, and work when they want too, I get a little jelly.

But, I really know how they get it and I honestly just don't want to do that and can't do that.

So, I deal for the most part. It ain't easy sometimes but, it's manageable.

You're just influenced by society. Western society is very materialistic, and makes people feel like if they don't adopt to that that they're doing it wrong.

I'm happy living below my means. You should be too.
