Desi, I know officially pronounce you my personal guru.

[Desi Boogie]

hahahaha nah man i ain't no guru. My advice, or rather my suggestion is to never look up to anyone, nor to look down on them. If you buy into the idea of people being better or worse than you at something, you buy into social dynamics that will have you struggling to be dominant when there's no need for it.

So many of the world's problems could be solved if we abandoned false modesty and all told each other just how great we are. When you believe in others and believe in yourself, when you tell people that their interests and ideas are great or at least interesting, they respond so positively and feel great about themselves and they'll usually say the same to you about things that you're interested in.

Everybody here needs to do this. It's what i do each morning. I go and look in the mirror and flex. I look at my body and i go "damn i'm a sexy motherfucker" then i go read or do something intellectual and think "damn i'm smart". Now i'm not saying that you have to be smart or sexy but think about all your good traits and praise yourself for them. Each person deserves to be proud of the things that make them great.

Most of all, just be relaxed with who you are. Don't try to act a certain way, don't always be focused on being a certain way, just chill, do you. I know a thousand other people have said it but the moment you let go of your attachments in your interactions, it's a really freeing feeling.

Most of all, smile, be happy, talk to the people who you care about, be around people, take time to culture yourself, open your mind to possibilities, the only person who suffers from your rejection of another's ideas is you. So if it won't hurt someone, if it has something that could enrich your life, take a chance on that thing, don't be afraid to push your limits a bit.

Peace

damn dude 100% every single freaking word, 61!/V9 is right you ARE or (should be )a guru

[Desi Boogie]

A guru tells people how to live. You can't tell someone how to live their life, how to interact, how to be a human being. You gotta find that out for yourself. Like i said don't look down or up to people, just acknowledge and appreciate real life, real people, real knowledge, real wisdom.

But thanks for the encouragement, just as long as you guys are feeling better about your situation, as long as you're able to better understand and appreciate your circumstances, better tackle those challenges, that's enough for me.

Who knows, i could be back here in a week with the exact same problems, because part of being human is that you'll often make the same mistakes and face the same problems after having thought you've overcome them.

Peace

[Transcendent]

Just thought I'd tell you, desi, damn you're sexy.

[Desi Boogie]

Hahaha thanks man. Keep us posted on how ish turns out with ya girl.

Peace

[Desi Boogie]

What do you guys do when you feel like crying? When things are uncertain, when you have no idea how things are going to turn out?

I honestly feel like i'm so closed to breaking down and just feel like a complete mess. I can't talk to my girlfriend about it, i can't talk to my friend's cause none of them will even know what to say. I can't talk to my family cause none of them will take it seriously.

Peace

P.S-I thought when i got a girlfriend i could share my weakness and feel okay about it but i realise now it means i have to hold back all of my weaknesses even more.

Peace

u have to find the right girlfriend who'll be there for u...not every girlfriend is gonna have the right qualities...

and just cry dude. if u need to let something out, jus cry it out...ik that's like plan Z to many dudes (including myself) but we're able to cry for a reason.

[bBoY G-RaF]

when my life goes into shambles like that, and it seems like nothing is going my way, like the world and karma has gone against me, i got and lift weights, i workout until im too tired to worry about my problems anymore. weight lifting and baseball are my only escapes from lifes problems

oh and the above is real life problems, not girl problems and crying. im talkin real shit, like financial, educational, health. girls come and go dont get twisted for that girl, just be real

[Transcendent]

i'm thinking about asking her flat out if she's just messing with me. I'm gonna be nice about it but still make my thoughts clear. Should I or will that just cause problems?

That doesn't sound like it will cause any problems..

[Transcendent]

I'm just worried she'll get mad and say something to the effect of "how could you even ask me that?" or something, ya know?

Don't spend your entire time debating with yourself on what to do- sometimes i just stop clear, my head and decide that its now or never,
eventually youll decide that your beginning to think too much
