surprised i haven't seen a thread like this in a long time. might as well throw my head in the ring. this is i guess for the early-mid 20's crowd, but that really doesnt mater just substitute any age increment for whatever number you wish. what were you like through your life? how have you changed over the years?
13 - Socially awkward, few friends, low self-esteem, and frequently angry at my school staff and classmates. had a tendancy to say a lot of really stupid/unfunny things randomly for attention. didn't do many things outside, and i started to grow out my hair in what became what you could call my "greasy period". also a very heavy user of gaia online.
16 - Highschool, grade 11. started smoking pot and hanging out with the smoke pit crew at my school, to this day a decent amount of us still talk and hang out. started to become more mellow about things, school, life in general. me and my friends would skip class, hang out in the park by the school, smoke and play hacky sack; very laid back. i started not to care what people thought of me, and i guess i was kind of going through a punk rock phase too (not REAL punk, i mean like green day). i was struggling to find a job until i unfortunately landed one at an Arby's location that is notorious in my town for violating multiple worker's rights. i also started excersizing in the gym which was unprecedented for me. massive girl troubles, never even had my first kiss at this point and trying to get a girl to even talk to me was a nightmare.
18 - Highschool, 5th year. i had graduated the previous year and was doing a victory lap literally to kill time until college. a very bad move in retrospect as i could've just worked the whole time, i would've been accepted to my course regardless. still havent even kissed a girl, luck with women was still shyte and i was getting rather depressed about it. still have a lot of good friends from the smoke pit, some were kicked out of the group for personal reasons. was working at the job i still am now in my local surplus store, been there a year at this point. still kind of an apathetic attitude about school and life.
Now - 20. went through a one year program in college for media foundations. taking a year off to work then going back for broadcast. still working the same job, but making more money - been there for over 2 years. i have a girlfriend of over a year now who was a close friend of mine for a long time through highschool; she's perfect and we never fight or even disagree on anything. i tend to look at the big picture, over the past while i've really observed the human condition; how we think, where we are going, and it fascinates me. little things like that have changed as well, just in how i observe things; be they people, events, or things. in terms of friends it's still the same old smoke pit crew.
what were you like then? now? how have you changed?
