My story: My past crisis #1 (permalink) Sun Nov 22, 2009 4:26 am   My story: My past crisis
 

I just finished writing my story that my kind proffesor have asked. I was wondering "Why not post it on the forum?" so I went ahead to post it. I've put my heart on this writing, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I wrote it. xD

Here goes:

My Past Crisis

As a child, I was very a very awkward and skinny guy that was always being picked on. When I was small, I have failed on my grades, on my family’s expectations, in my social life, and everything else in life. The only area I was good at was playing any video games. That’s only where I excel. I failed countless of times others expection since back then, I just love having fun my own way. Every time I played my favorite video games, I was always thinking "If only my life could be this exciting...". At that time, as my life had fallen apart, I fell trap on addictions like pornography, anime, manga, and alcoholism. I mostly have never talked and connect with people around me. I loved my own problems and didn't want to solve it. That's who I was.

That goes on and continued for the past fifteen years until something happened two years ago. I fell in love with this woman named Salma, who was my co-worker the other department. She was so lovely and perfect in my eyes… she was always full of life. She has this light brunette hair. I still remember when it took me a week just to get up my nerve to finally talk to her. When I finally did find my voice, I’ve stuttered along the lines of “I like you…”, and she give me probably that most painful “let’s just be friend speech”. I spent the rest of the year in my work watching her quietly, and thinking about her. And she spent the rest of the year being the lovely and energetic girl as she was and virtually ignoring my very existence. Not that it was her fault… but I was just too scared and shy to talk to her anyway.

As depressed as I was, I’ve undulged further on my own addictions for the next couple of months and drowned myself on that sad patter of lifestyle. Until one day, tired of my loneliness… I decided to change my life. I decided to learn more about women and to learn more about myself. I started to read books, took self developing programs, have started to talk to people in general and have immersed my self in life in general. Immense things happened in my life from that moment on. It took me two years up to this point to get rid of all my addictions while learning further about myself and people in general. These experiences have created who I am. I might have more ways to go on my journey of learning but I have reached the point where I enjoy life in every minute of it. My curiosity to learn more about many things and my desire to improve endlessly is what I have come to enjoy doing, what I want to keep doing for the rest of my life.
