My life has changed.

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

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.

Good post. I think for me, honestly, my parents were very overprotective and it caused me to rebel and lash out completely over the years. That lasted well into adulthood but even then was dying down. I've just had these moments of clarity over the years where I realized I had to just get my act together and my priorities in order.

I'm 29. I just graduated with my degree last year and moved. Between 3 schools and transferring through them with course credits it took me really about 8 1/2 years to get my degree (although I really consider it 10 years cause it was). I took some time off from school too. That's why it seems like I'm a late bloomer. But hell, I've been holding myself down when I was in Pittsburgh and since I started college way back in the day even when I didn't have any direction or knew what I wanted to do with myself.

What was your major?

I feel in the past couple of weeks, the old me has slowly but surely died. And this new me has emerged. I'm not interested in going out and getting drunk and messed up with friends at the bar til I can't see. I'm done with being irresponsible. This job that's come into my life is really it. Taking these insurance courses, having to learn al of these state regulations, fine areas of text, and other material for my job is slowly but surely starting to consume my life and I can't avoid it anymore. This is really the opportunity of my lifetime and I'm finally realizing it. My life is about to change...but I feel like...I'm afraid of what may happen. Prosperity and success is definitely coming but am I prepared for it? I had a conversation with my mom and my dad seperately over the phone over the course of two days and I told them what I've finally realized over a year removed from coming to New York from Pittsburgh last year and they gave me nothing but the best of words and the most supportive comments.

It was shocking to hear that from there, considering around the same point last year we had problems and it seemed like we were never seeing eye to eye. Making the tiniest discrepancy between us into an explosive argument. But now? Nothing but kind words. To hear such happiness and support from them is great.

Even my whole personality has changed. I feel more social, more content with life, more outgoing, etc. I have my friends here in New York, I've finally found a good job (which honestly I'm blessed to have cause it seems like there aren't alot of them going around and that's disconcerting in itself), and I can finally get the ball rolling in my life. I never thought this would happen.

I know what I want to do with my life now and it's making me happy and content with where things are going for the first time ever. But I'll never be content because I'll always have those passions of mine that will allow me to strive to achive further.

I was fukk-up, a loser in my mind, and underwhelming not too long ago, but now I can finally be able to say I threw that out the window and gave myself a positive image and outlook on life. Things are going to get better...finally. No longer that punk ass kid that just strolled through life with no direction but now leading that direction.

Peace.

Are you happy tho?

I dunno if y'all have been following this guy's posts but he's definitely not happy and he's definitely not on a path to happiness.

And no, a job fetching coffee at Aflac isn't going to change that.

Dude is bitter as fukk at life and is going nowhere fast. 8 years to get a BA?

Dude said he wanted to give TED Talks about posting on The Coli. That should give you an idea of where his head is at.

Happiness doesn't come from a job. It comes from within. If your current financial success provides you some form of joy and direction in a positive way that's good... But don't try to fool the coli with a perceived epiphany due to your job and renewed relationship with your fam, more importantly ....don't try to fool yourself

It's good you were able to mature and uderstand the basic responsibilities an adult has in life.

The sad part is that,we still have a good portion of Black men in their late 30's still tryna keep it real with the hip hop metality. Little do they know about the future changes that will make it a lot harder for people with that mentality to survive financially.

If only 25 percent of us thought like Malcolm X,shyt would be hella different.
