This is my 1000th post. I thought I'd write it where I began, under my first ever thread. I joined in October 2007, just over 1 year ago now and wow, what a journey it has been!
When I joined, aged 17, I wasn't scared to talk to girls, but I was scared to be myself. My experiences had been sketchy, filled with confusion as to whether I should use canned openers or not.
It wasn't long before I realised here that I shouldn't. And thank God I did. The Knights inspired me, and showed me that you can just be yourself to attract girls, and you can increase your attractiveness by developing your personality.
I'll never know how much my learning curve/shift of perception was influenced by simply being a teenager - confused and hormonal. But there is one thing that I know this forum gave me, and that was the belief - "I CAN". Knowing that I could build attraction with anyone, removed the fear and replaced it with a growing confidence.
And then there was the change in the way of thinking. I've always been a deep thinker; I've got a book that I've kept since the age of 8, filled with thoughts as to how the universe was created, the meaning and consequences of love, the future and technology, my own philosophical theories and questions...all derived from a too early on in life exposure to Science Fiction novels.
Yet I noticed, that especially this year, my way of thinking has changed radically. I used to become grumpy about once every two weeks, maybe more. I used to get so pissed off over nothing...but now, I can't remember the last time I was down. Learning about yourself, from a psychological, biological and anthropological point of view teaches that you DO have choices.
I remember a few months ago, being sad for some reason or another. I suddenly thought of how depression is simply chemicals reacting, and how pathetic it was, letting bloody atoms control how I felt. Jumping up, my mood had switched to euphoria as I triumphed.
This forum won't teach you how to become rich quick, nor how to get stacked, or gain an intelligence similar to a library, but rather it'll teach you that you can if you want it. Everything is possible, you are born with the tools to be the master of your own destiny, so become conscious and use them.
The small things in life mean so much more to me now. I am content with what I have, and I have no desire to gain more as of the moment. Sometimes when I walk down the street, I become so happy seeing how much love there is in the world. Call me a weirdo, I don't care, but finding joy in other peoples happiness is a great asset to have, because there will always be love in the world to see.
And on that note, remember that you should always, always, ALWAYS use protection!
