Being responsible comes later

Yall old as hell compared to me. It seems like i got time still.![]()
25. Just turned 26 but in the last year, I've gotten to know myself more as an individual....started to really enjoy simple things and being myself BY myself.
Before that, I was in a relationship for 4 1/2 years and had a gang of friends. Most of my friends ended up moving out west as did my ex. Only got 2 friends from my crew left here. One works and spends most of his time w/ his GF. The other just had an impromptu baby....
...so I ended up with a lot of time to reflect alone and figure myself out.
Being in a relationship for that long never gave me a chance to just do ME as an adult. Always had to plan around someone else. Now that I'm solo, I've become more charismatic and honest with people. I'm more comfortable saying what I want and doing what I like without second-guessing it.
I like the gym...so I'm there way more often. I re-discovered my love for metal/alt. rock and still have my love for hip-hop. Re-discovered my fascination with pro wrestling and even if it's cheesy, I still respect the business & performance aspect. Checked out a couple indy shows alone and have been really impressed. I used to be more dependent on group settings. Now, I don't mind doing things alone and end up striking insightful conversations every other time I'm out. Would've never known that people would be drawn to me that way if I were still in a relationship or always with a crew of people.
I guess you "find yourself" when you learn to get along with/accept yourself as you are without being miserable. Don't think a lot of people can stand being alone or they spend a lot of time trying to meet expectations instead of just letting it all hang out. Once you do that, you'll have found yourself.![]()
I'm 22 and i'm a lost fukkin child
Good thread. A brother such as myself got illuminated at 20. Realized I had to cut a gang of ppl off that were bad for my personal growth.
what made you realize that?
I came to a point in my life where I realized I wasnt living for myself, but living for my crew, these hoes, my parents, the expectations of others, etc.. I wasnt doing what made me feel happy. So I jus straight up cut off about 80% of my social circle. It gave me alot of time for self reflection, working on my skills, making better connections with people, and networking and launching my lil buisness and shyt.
I made alot of folks mad. Especially one of my closest homies. But it was prolly the best move I made in my young adult life thus far.
damn im kinda goin thru the same shyt
i got into it wit two of my nikkas cuz they called me the breadwinner out the group
i understood what they was sayin but i snapped cuz i wanna see EVERYBODY eating
that shyt lame when nikkas older then you look up to you
but see its hard cuz they my Day 1 nikkas
like they seen me when i was broke when i was tryna accomplish shyt
droppin 1200 on classes no financial aid, having to hustle/scheme, workin bs jobs
and i seen when them nikkas was doin good, getting money, all that
but this last year i been on some real motivation shyt
and i be feelin like nikkas fallin behind
but i be feelin like them nikkas was apart of my come up
shyt be heavy on my brain sometimes
Breh I feel like ima have to leave my bestfriend from back home behind. nikkas ain't hungry no more.![]()
