Your life isn't going to get ruined in my opinion
You're smart as @Sensitive Blake Griffin said, I can honestly see you getting your act together by 21-22. This is a phase you'll grow out of. Trust me.
Ill get it together when I get my license and a car and I can train boxing at a pro gym full time. I've booked my driving course. It's jan 6.

Done.
Also, I was thinking, I used to be kind of ignorant of how my actions would be perceived by other people. I was kind of rude, I didn't care about how I conducted myself on a personal manner...not to mention around other people. I used to shut myself in. I used to be angry and just kind of wack. I'm happy I can look back on my past and see that growth I've made. It wasn't easy...nothing is.I guess it's easy to just get stuck in a familiar routine and never want to break out of it because it provides some happiness familiarity.
I completely agree, another very important skill is being able to realize the difference between constructive criticism and haters, lol. This is so, so, so important, because we will never be able to see ourselves from the outside and sometimes you need people to give you real talk, you need that shyt. It's key that people are able to dissect every bit of advice as sometimes the best advice will come from the most unconventional sources.
Being defensive is natural as you aren't sure of yourself so when people question you, you get heated as deep down you aren't sure either, when you have a firm understanding of who you are and what you're about, you aren't as easily rocked and become less defensive and you're able to take on all advice given and use it properly.
Damn you came there just as I ended my journey.
you booked it ?
Yeah. That's the only reason I got a job in the first place. As soon as I made enough I quit. :mjpshh:
I've always had two different sides to my personality, on one hand I could be insanely introverted, on another, I was the class clown, but I was also unhappy with the way the world was. In terms of, capitalism, the chase for money/status/blah blah blah. So I was kind of in a "fukk it" phase when I was young. I was also definitely affected by some deaths that happened around me even though I felt like at the time I was handling it just fine. It's just hard to be young, full of hormones and emotions on top of being inexperienced/immature/stupid.
lol you're a mug, so you made that money for the lessons what about car money and insurance money

Done.
C/S...especially the bolded. I had lost some family and friends and that really made me put things in perspective as far as how I mattered to the people around me. That's why I feel that in no matter what I do, I always have to see it to the end. It's just a testament of dedication and legacy. And trying to keep things going just cause.
lol you're a mug, so you made that money for the lessons what about car money and insurance money
I didnt think that far ahead
I would have been fired this week anyway for missing too many days. Cus of that food poisoning.
As long as we keep learning and moving in a positive direction we will be fine, too intelligent not to
My problem was I was given too much responsibility when I was young, my dad's an entrepenuer so being his first son, he had it planned for me and overall my father always treated me more like his 'friend' than a son, so I had no boundaries limits, nothing.
@*F*U*N*E*R*A*L* and Blake, you guys need to remember that we are children of the Baby Bloomers too, our parents wanted us to have a 'better' life than they did and made some mistakes when raising us making us feel like we were invincible and could do no wrong, ofcourse that's not true lol, as we learned now.
Yup. My parents weren't hard enough on me. they let me do whatever I wanted and were over-protective. It's not their fault, I don't blame them, but it's definitely something that contributed to the way I was at that age.
