Reclaiming my power - A Journal by MatAlexander305

What am I getting at with this whole escapism thing, itā€™s my automatic go to. Itā€™s my emergency off button. When I feel like I canā€™t handle something, I immediately detach in one way or another.

Luckily Iā€™ve gotten rid of my more toxic way of doing this, but itā€™s still present in my daily life. And I think itā€™s a problem

Reminds me of a funny time when I told @GoldenTiger I would punch him if he ever smokes weed again. He laugh, I didnā€™t and since then he hasnā€™t touched weed yet :slight_smile:

Yes Iā€™m a good friend who cares about their health but sometimes people need a little nudge to go in the right direction :innocent:

If Iā€™m being honest more then 50% of people in our day in age would be toxic so itā€™s nothing be surprised by. Like I always tell you I have a bunch of people I know and a big social circle but people I really consider friends? That number would be 2 compared to the 20+ people I know and hang out with from time to time because of different values and I know some for a fact weā€™re toxic in the past. I have one rule and itā€™s been serving me well. If a girl or a friend has ever hurt me in the past (Toxic or otherwise), I will by no circumstances be friends with them ever again even if they changed. Same thing with girls Iā€™ve had girls that weā€™re attractive in the past and are attractive now but hurt me (And when I mean hurt I donā€™t mean rejection I mean pain pain) who I will never ever date or even have fun with no matter how much they love me because they had their chance and they decided to play with it so in return I wonā€™t give them the time of day nor will I care (Most of the time I will just leave them on read or block them).

To some this might seem harsh but in our generation (Gen Z) itā€™s either I trust you and we go through life together and help each other become successful or you hurt me/your toxic and weā€™re never going to be close ever again even if you say you ā€œchangedā€.

Yoo thatā€™s facts,

Exactly, theirs a lot of toxic ppl our age now a days. So many never wanna see you succeed, so theyā€™ll do their best to drag you down (even if theyā€™re not aware of it). Thatā€™s another big part of my story, people who I thought were my friends all stabbed me in the back, never cared, never reached out when I was clearly not well.

I can count on one hand all my real friends, and I think itā€™ll always be that way

Itā€™s funny, @Vesper mentioned something about smoking not being cool. And it made me ponder what makes something ā€œcoolā€?

Then this video popped into my feed, and it explains a lotā€¦ things I already subconsciously did.
Itā€™s not what you do, itā€™s how you do it.

If you do any type of smoking itā€™s still not cool :slight_smile:
Itā€™s why you do it that matters.

Actually I found a good video that explain this by MPMD (Not relating to smoking but relating to the misunderstood idea of what guys think will get a girl when in reality it wouldnā€™t):

And this one which goes back to my point where you shouldnā€™t buy stuff because you think girls will like you for it. If you want to buy something buy it because you truly want it:

Forgot to mention yesterday, when I was walking out of the gym. There was a dude standing at the trunk of his car grabbing his gym stuff. When I looked up at him he was already staring right at me in this almost fascinated way. Very strange. He just froze.

Then when I got in my car, I rolled down all the windows, put on my sunglasses and started queuing a few songs on my phone. While I was doing this I looked up and their was a women staring right at me with that same look. She just froze and stared at me like I was an alien. (A hot one :wink:)

Both happened within two minutes of one another.

Alright gentlemen @Vesper @GoldenTiger
Letā€™s get this out of the wayā€¦

In T minus 5 days, weā€™re going to a music festival. A Latin music festival

That means you better dance (or at least try)

Get in front of that mirror and practise :sunglasses:

So me and my SC twin are going through it:

It was a mix of blame. I had a part to play, and so did they. For years Iā€™ve resented most of these people, but today I forgave them. And in the process, forgave myself. I no longer care about it, Iā€™m grown now. Lifeā€™s too short to hold stupid grudges. If I see any of these people while out and about (and I will), Iā€™m going to be my true self, kind, charming funnyā€¦ but this time, Strong, authentic strength and self respect No more Mr. ā€œIā€™m trying to intimidate you so you so

  1. Donā€™t talk to me
  2. Donā€™t take my kindness for weakness
  3. Do not belittle me, your jokes arenā€™t jokes. Theyā€™re insults in disguise.ā€

How is your Custom going?

Iā€™m feeling an extremly intense yearning to be with a certain girl right now. One that I canā€™t quite be with forā€¦ well reasons.

Idk why, I randomly thought about her and now I canā€™t stop. Itā€™s actually messing with my focus at work. Everytime I think of her I get flashbacks of our romantic encounters and it turns my stomach into a mess, a beautiful messā€¦if you know what I mean

Wanted, wtf are you doing to me?
