Growed Up- How Have You Changed?

[Bitchamachacha]

I don't post much. I hardly visit. I come back time and time again and read over the board and sometimes frown, thinking to myself "Damn. So much has changed."

But really. The board hasn't changed at all. Sure. There are a few new names and faces, but it still holds the laugh factor it had always held since I first came here (or to the old board) in 2002. The truth is, I've changed. My thoughts have changed; my views have changed.

My entire life has changed.

In the past 7 years I've been divorced, in love, out of love, yada..yada. I became a hard working single mother and have struggled to finally get back into the city after being in the country for years.

The ups and down have changed me in ways I've never imagined. I'm not as quick to judge and the temper I once had isn't nearly as charged. The growing patience of being a mother has seriously changed that. I'm also stronger. Back in the day, I was so fearful. I was afraid to make HUGE changes in my life because I was comfortable being "used" to where I was. But I wasn't happy. Now I feel like I could take on any challenge at the drop of a hat.

So my question is this- How have you changed since the first time you came here? And I don't just mean how has your life changed, but how have you as a person changed?

[-T-]

all I know is i start to look at those younger then I and think "Was I really that stupid?". lol

[Helvete]

Yes, I have changed for sure. Username for one thing. You'd remember me from when I was a young innocent teenager, now I've killed at least 6 people and been all over the world. I'm pretty confident and cool also. In fact, I am really fucking excellent aswell as funny and smart. Still an ugly bastard but I'm so amazing in every other way, God had to keep my feet on the ground some way. Asshole.

Christ.

I'm so damned old I can't even remember your old username. I think it had something to do with crack though.

And by six people did you mean six brain cells? Because I think you killed way more than that. ;)

[Helvete]

No no, you've got me all wrong. I could go on and play the guessing game but I'm so much more mature than that now. Originally I was called damaja. Yes, that amazing British guy, well, I'm still amazing for your info. Oh, and I'm in the Army now and I've been to Iraq and shit. So there you go.

But glad to hear you are okay and you have a positive outlook on life now, Steph. (That was/is your name, right?)

It's been probably five or six years since I started posting here. Jesus.


I'm almost a grownup (y)

[Adam]

Bitcha's back!

all I know is i start to look at those younger then I and think "Was I really that stupid?"

^hell yeah!

I came here in '99 - when I was 19.

I was such a fucking prick back then. I'm more chilled now, I have different views.

I wouldn't of liked me back then now :confused: I was too uptight, I gave a shit about what people thought of me, I couldn't have fun in case some1 thought I was uncool. Stuff that I find annoying in todays kids.

We all get new selves every 7 years.

[Dorothy Wood]

I was the same for a long time, then I decided to stop partying so much a couple of years ago. stopped hanging out with certain people. spent a lot of time alone, then fell in love, spent a lot of time with him and hardly anyone else. but he didn't love me. so then I wanted to die, but then I decided to try to live the best life I could instead. got a new job (in addition to the old one), which might get me into a career I should have always had, if I make the effort. getting promoted soon at the old job. been celibate for some months now since I stopped worrying about bangin dudes so much. still a little confused about my life, but things are getting better. I'm at the same time more confident about myself more than I've ever been, and terrified of what the future holds. I guess excited and terrified.

I like to come here and get up on my soapbox and tell people how to live their lives now, it's pretty rewarding. ;)

[paul jones]

I really have no clue why I am here to be honest.Maybe I can write a book before I die called 'How to daydream your life away and be a loser'(y)

[Lyman Zerga]

since i stopped living when i was 14 i stopped growing
as in height and mentallness

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Maybe I can write a book before I die called 'How to daydream your life away and be a loser'(y)

I'd buy it (y)

It's been just over four years since i started posting on here. Stuff's changed in my life but i haven't (i don't think...)

*wipes tear* awwww :o

I repeat the CD of Big's "Me & My Bitch"
Watching Bonnie and Clyde wantin' to be that shit

[Waus]

I think I'm a lot more sympathetic than I used to be.

If growing older has taught me anything, it's that you can't understand someone else's circumstances. I've learned a little bit about the difference between humility and cowardice, forgetfulness and carelessness.

I guess I'm still sort of easing into a new phase, always being thankful for my many blessings.

[taquitos]

i'm slightly more of a badass than i was originally

[Kid Presentable]

I have bought new water wings but I don't fuck them

[saz]

i've found that since turning thirty i've changed immensly, in that you finally begin to act more like an adult and act much more resonsibly in day-to-day life. you also tend to have a greater control over your emotions and don't let them control you. so, on here, i don't hurl insults anymore and just tend to shrug my shoulders if i disagree with someone or something, because hey, it really doesn't matter in the end as life is too short and your own personal life is obviously much more important than some occurences on an internet message board.

GET MY GROWN MAN ON WIT YOUUUUUUUUUU

[hardnox71]

I am learning to live with acceptance and honesty (if that sounds like some AA shit that's because it is.) I am in the process of learning to be honest with myself and others around me about who I am and where I'm at right now; where I am going and where I am trying to go.

"Accept the things I cannot change......". It sounds good when I'm saying it every morning but actually putting it into practice is the real test.

I'm trying to become who I'm supposed to be because who I am just ain't it. Maybe I'm trying too hard. I dunno.

I do know I'll never give up.

[adam_f]

Hardnox found Jesus and is pissed he's white.

I wouldn't say I've changed a whole lot, maybe I have, I don't know. A lot of stuff has happened within the last couple years (notably recently) but I wouldn't say I've changed too much. I'm still the poor man's Bob or Paul Jones on here and I wish I did visit more, but for some reason, I don't find myself coming here as often as I used to.

I would also like to point out that I haven't jerked off to internet porn in over a month since I got my new computer. As good of a time as any to announce that.

When you stop jerking off all over the keyboard, that's when you truly know you are growing as a person.

Oh, well, in that case, I've got Google imaging to do.

[Echewta]

I'm still the sauve dashing older gentleman I've always been.

[beastieangel01]

I started posting when I was 15. I am now 25. Jesus.

It's safe to say that lots has changed and that I have changed. So much that if I bothered sharing, it'd be a book.

I WILL share though that I am happier than I have ever been. And I am right where I am supposed to be, finally.

this makes me sad.


anyway, ch-ch-ch-changes... i've been growing. learning. dealing with shit. the world does not revolve around me as tightly. i've gone through things that have opened my mind. i've LIVED my early 20's. And shit, i've been coming here for 5 years...

hi bitcha!

[Adam]

I gotta say, I am seriously happier now in my late 20s than I was in my teens or early 20s.

I have a few friends who are 30+ and they are pretty damn happy to.

Those who say teens are the best days of your life are so wrong. Ok, you don't get injured as easy, you have more money, more sex partners* but you know fuck all.

Although I know kids these days are being forced to grow up quicker than I was.

*actually that is untrue for me. Sex is better now and I probably have more of it.
