he's just young, I'd probably be going ham on these forums too at that age :heh: thats the thing when you're young, you think you know everything and you think you're an adult already, I wish I could go back in time and tell my 16/17/18 year old self all this shyt. I was a know it all too, and I was really dumb.

Being a know it all is actually a life ruining trait when young, there's nothing worse than a personal single handedly fukking up their life because they don't listen to anyone, I've seen it happen to many people.

That was me, exactly. I've turned stuff around but I'm still cleaning up all the mistakes I made when I was young. I didn't listen to fukking NOBODY. Not my parents, not anyone, I was very immature. It's not like I got into trouble with the law or anything, I just didn't do as good in school as I could have, looking back on it I could've easily had a 4.0 GPA in highschool, I just didn't give a fukk. That would've gotten me a scholarship etc.. I just made a lot of mistakes. I don't live with regrets though. All I can do is try to be better today.

I listen to tony Montana and that's about it. I watch scarface once a week and take mental notes.

This is really true. I was the same way in a sense. I didn't really care to listen to anyone that had a word of advice and kind of took it as a sort of talking down to. I guess I was real defensive back in the day. But yeah, some people think they know everything and that they don't need anybody's concern or comments. I've seen it ruin many peoples lives. That mentality is stupid and self-destructive.

That's why I think the whole concept of being a "hater" and the art of "haterism" is sooo intolerable. That's just a deflection mechanism people put on to ignore any criticism, or to try to act as if that person doing the criticism just doesn't understand them or "get it".

Hey, you might think that...but the money I make from this job I am using to fund my own ventures and independent sources of income (after rent and bills ofcourse). I've been working on my spreadshirt online store, my boardpusher online store, and I have something else that I'm very eager to talk about on here that I'm launching next year (I've been tempted to tease it on here, but I'm skeptical in doing so). I got to start somewhere. It took me some time to really flesh out my plans with it but I know what I'm doing and know where I want to go with it.

I definitely don't want to be working for someone forever. It's not even just that feeling of being under someone, but the feeling of being indebted to a company and a location. It feels restrictive in a sense. I've always been my own man but I want to have my own company, my own creation, and my own source of capital over the years. Working this job is going to help me learn the fine print that ties all of those elements together.

I'm always playing chess...not checkers. That's why I keep my thoughts, opinions, and ideas mainly to myself.

For me, I was just too young to understand the implications of my decisions/actions later down the road in life. I was not a future oriented thinker at all.

I don't give a shyt about life. fukk it if I ruin it.

See this is a sign of growth, when you can look at your younger self and analyse errors, mistakes, however not allow it to consume you. I don't believe in regrets either, I actually find the whole thing interesting and i like to reflect as it shows me how far I've come. It's the folly of youth though isn't it, I'm only 25 and I can look at my teenage self (and teens in general) and think 'you're so stupid' lol. It's hilarious.

The only thing I like about coming of age and getting older is the control, the moment that you realize the choice of your life, whether you end up a bum, how your future goes is in your hands and if things don't work out you don't have a mummy or daddy to run to is rather liberating also, that's what I like to be honest, just the control we have now.

I'd never go back to my teens even if someone paid me.
