Ahh. Its been a while...

Maybe a few of you remember, I posted the blog entry titled "From a boy to a man part 1." To summarize, I became depressed, tanked in life, so I decided to get help, and TL was my first step. If you really want to read it, go into my older blogs yourself, because I dont want to taint this happy blog with that emo one.

I said I would post when I became a man, and I believe that I have almost became a man. Since the time of that blog, I got help from Chill (ty so much), from my music band's leader and supervisor, and most importantly I talked to my mother. She listened to me, and helped me through this.Without her, I might have thrown my life away and for that, I love you mom (lol I dont even think she will ever see this, and if you EVER do, then yeah :D). My bro is a baller, and still is, so I love you too man ( I have the feeling that you will see this dude). My supervisor got me to talk to my guidance counselor (with my mom) and she actually payed for the taxi to get home. That helped me realize that the world does care, if your in trouble. Finally, I read the book 7 habits of highly effective teens. That books is amazing.

I am doing waaaaaaaay better in school, I am not addicted to the computer anymore, and I can talk freely with people. It feels great. Especially today, since summer school is over, as before after school I would just run to the computer, but today I relaxed. To break my addiction (and to stop my constant headache after ending my anorexia type behaviour and abuse of the computer), I stopped going on the computer, TV anything electronic for a good 5 months. Even today, I am not playing games. Best of all, I am learning about myself more than ever. Ex. I learned that I have a tendancy to hold people very high and then put myself down while comparing myself with them, which of course is a bad habit, so thats a habit I will break.

... Wow I thought I had more to say. I believe the next time I post will be after University/College acceptances, as then I will really be a man (and my birthday is around that time, so I can legally be a

man!). Im off, listening to some trance music, reading the latest TL article about sc2, chatting with people, and just chilling out.

Lifes Good (I should get payed for that)

PS - I know I have over 500 posts, but I havent posted in a WHILE, so can I change my name to Shree?

First rule of namechanging and I quote:
1. If you have 500 posts, don't bother asking.

Guess you forgot to use the search button, simlpy type in "name change" and the first thread you'll see is The change my name topic http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=3398

Glad to here that you're not addicted to your computer anymore.
Take care.

yeah too bad that rule isn't upheld fairly often, so there's still value in asking and hoping the mod is feeling good.

@OP, i love reading stories of people getting their lives back on track, congrats to you man! i'll go read your other blogs just to get the full story~

Same here. When I try to do the opposite, I can't help but feel like a complete ass, even though I know I have done things I should be more proud of.
Hi there. I'm in a cave, how bout you?
