I'm a persistent little bugger. · 1:01pm Feb 6th, 2014
And that, my friends, is why I'm doing half decent. I'm not always persistent, but I try to be. I want people to look at my stories and be like - "This stuff is total crap, but he will get better." More glorious to me than the idea of being the best, is the idea of being the worst that there could be, and after a lot of hard work and practice, becoming the best that I can be.
One of my goals in life is to be known as a persistent little bugger. Persistence is key.

Damn, I wish I had that mentality

Steal it! I've stolen so many freaking mentalities from people who are smarter, wiser, and more confident than I am. Now I'm like a frickin' mental hospital.
1802458
Huh, I suppose I could try....

Perhaps another - longer - blog post on confidence should happen at some point. Confidence is like, one of the best things that you can obtain as a person. I don't get my confidence from knowing that I can do it. I get my confidence from knowing that I'm freaking doing it right now. I have friends who can talk to me and shoot my confidence through the roof, just by being there.
I'm tired of hearing people go - "Huh... maybe." - when they could be like - "Yes! Freaking now!" Hesitance is a female dog. And she has a really big but attached to her.

Heheh, my confidence is seemingly nonexistent. Where some may see a challenge or an opportunity to succeed, all I see is an opportunity to fail miserably. Confidence isn't something I do very well, if at all

Hahahahhahahahahahahaha! I've been there, like all my life, man. I have never had any confidence. Heck, my life has shot by so fast and in such weird directions, that I never really had time for confidence. I was too busy hiding under the blankets, waiting for my dad to go to work before he found out he was out of cigarettes and took it out on me.
Back then, though, I let my circumstances dictate my attitude, and my confidence. Put simply, I was a freaking coward who kept dark thoughts in his mind at all times. I stressed and stressed and worried.
Sometimes you've just got to step out of the little box, and stop thinking inside of it. The box is too small a place to live, and it starts to rot after a while. I highly recommend that you make one good friend, who will challenge you to think and do things differently. It's always easier to go in the right direction when you have a light to guide you through the darkness.
That's better than having a life goal of being persistently buggered.

I love how you turned that around.
But, yeah, it totally is.
1802495 Unless your life goals include "career ho" or "prison bitch" anyway, but...

Jesus loves you is a bad thing to hear in a Mexican prison.

I think that's where we might might differ, as my childhood wasn't really like that. When I was young I pretty much had everything handed to me on a silver platter. i never had to work for anything I wanted, and it ruined me both psychologically and physically. That changed in my early teens, when I realized how much of an asshole I was when I was a child, and needless to say, the guilt of realizing I was a spoiled brat crushed me. I'd like to think I've changed somewhat from when I was a kid... But I know that's a lie, or at least not completely true.
My problem's never really been thinking outside the box, at least I don't think so. I mean, I'd consider myself a somewhat creative individual: the problem is the guilt of knowing people think I can do it, only to let them down. Or even a greater a fear of mine, is making a fool of myself publicly, where my actions are open to the judgement of literally anyone.

But, dude. Your circumstances mean nothing here. No matter what you have done or have been, you can still change. One of the most inspirational people I have met has murdered a man, on purpose. My dad put me through hell, and robbed a gas station when he was twenty, but now I love the crap out of him.
I don't think the fact that you used to be a spoiled brat changes anything. I've been a spoiled brat too, mate. I had thoroughly earned a lot of the crap that was dished out to me.
Don't think that just because you don't have a good sob story or that you suck as a person that you can't change. Like I said, I find it beautiful when someone who was the worst, changes so that they are the best. You know why? The ones who have sucked can look down and see the others who are going through what they have.

That song, as well as the show that followed it, was my childhood.

W-whatever you say...

Either you aren't getting the point here, or you're doing this on purpose. Mesh. Bananas. Floating cheese.

Wat
1802529
Mesh. Bananas. Floating cheese. Not random enough for you?
Roses are grey, violets are grey. I'm a dog.
1802532
A bit too random...

The giant chimichanga in the sky welcomes you.
My sentiments exactly.
I admire you.
1802729
I share the sentiment, my friend.
