I’m only 19 and I used to regret things, but now I don’t. It’s a fucking waste of time. Learn from the good/bad experiances and move the fuck on.
I hope I keep this attitude and live a cool enough life that as I hit 40 I don’t look back and think ‘aw shit I wish I did this/that/and the other thing/girl when I was 20’…
Actually, 20 was the year that I did most of the things I wish I had done when I was younger. Since then, I have increasingly begun to believe that it really doesn’t matter what I could have done, it matters what I can still do.
Things I actually did at age 20:
-
Went snorkeling and diving on the great barrier reef
-
Moved away from home and worked in a different city, lived on my own, had lots of disposable income, lived it up.
I’m now 21, hopefully this year is memorable as well.

Dated around more. Unless you’re seriously considering marriage, you miss out on a lot if you’re tied to one girl.
Taken more math and engineering courses. That shit’s hella useful.
Not been an exercise science major.

first two times was blue dolphins = good times.
last time was a red pill of unknown origin. bad times.
seemed to be cut with something to get you higher harder and faster, but the comedown lasted a week, wanted to kill myself. this is part of why i started working out. because i felt so shitty i looked up how to fix my seratonin, and low and behold, diet and exercise. so burnout stoner 130lb skinnyfat me is doing pushups and using 20lb dbs in his room in secret. probably saved my life. not from the bad pill, but a toxic lifestyle in general. i didn’t know who i was and i fucking hated myself back then.
the reason E wasn’t a good time is because i was surrounded by a bad croud of kids and constantly peer pressured into shit i didn’t really want to do, because i was weak minded and weak bodied. It was like i was screaming to get out and be me. The summer after that year i took 2 months of solitude as i moved back home and went cold turkey on weed, E, drinking, and cigs. I would just exercise every day and bike to the woods and read a book. i was fucked up psychologically bad, and every day i would cough up phlegm etc.
weightlifting fucking saved my life, and i know it sound cliche but i feel like i have found myself, my personality fit so much better with a big strong guy, and i don’t feel its to compensate, its more to just be who i am. everyone in my family is big and strong and it just makes sense. Im 10x the person i used to be man.
So i guess i sort of needed that period in my life to actually grow, but looking back on it, the memories, etc, none of them were good and i always get a depressed gut wrenching feeling if i talk about it too much, thinking about staying up all night smoking bongs and parachuting pills, listening to shitty rap with shitty people, not knowing what day it is, waking up at 6pm and going to bed at 9am etc. its a shitty lifestyle based on instant gratification and weakness.
Henry Rollins autobiography of his life from 1982-1986 dictated by him really opened my eyes too and i feel i have a lot in common with the guy, hence the avatar
I’m not really sure what I want to do. I’m already 21, but what I really want more than anything right now is get a tough muscle car.

“weight lifting” is just a term, not a person, and isn’t capable of doing anything. so you saved your life yourself by deciding to change because you didn’t like the direction your life was going.
And did you really beat your addiction, or did you just replace the drug addiction with a healthier addiction (i.e. weight lifting)? And what do you do if for some reason weight lifting is taken away from you? … just something to think about

I’m not 20 yet but soon will be I want to skydive (afraid of heights) , shoot some kind of hand gun/rifle (from Canada eh .22 is pusay), Swim with sharks or coral reef dive (afraid of open water mostly sharks…dam you JAWS!).
I respect that you want to better yourself, but you know, there is a difference between fears and phobias. I have a fear of sharks and open waters too. That’s because sharks will fucking eat you. I had to swim with sharks in Mexico last year. It was a horrible experience.
All I could think about was Discovery Channel documentaries and how I must look like bait with this silly orange thing on my waist bobbing up and down all helpless.
I still do not like sharks.
tl;dr: doing it will not necessarily rid you of fear of it
You’re supposed to fight your fears, not swim around it worrying about how you look.
That advice does not apply to all walks of life, especially when sharks are involved.
Sharks will fucking eat you.
What’s not to get? This isn’t like a deathly phobia of spiders.
Sharks will fuck your shit up.

Depends on what kind of shark you’re talking about. A Brown Recluse spider is far deadlier than many species of sharks.
I’ve swam with sharks before, on the great barrier reef. These two were probably 6 fters, 8 at most. Now if you had to hunt and kill your food to eat, would you pick a fight with something that looks to be about the same size as you, or find something else. These sharks couldn’t have cared less about me.
What always struck me was how they were basically just muscle with fins and a tail. They were kind of drifting along languidly and then one flick of the tail and - PFFFFT! - they were gone.
Okay the guy who posted about sharks will fuck your shit up was fuckin HILARIOUS. And the family guy jaws, haha that’s awesome too.
I’m like some other guys here…I’m 19…I’ve had a girlfriend for years and years and years, and don’t know what to do lol so confused with that. I’m just too fuckin loyal sometimes I guess. I’ll stick anything out to the end with someone I know.
I wanna fight more, I wish I joined muaythai/boxing earlier and didn’t always think…I have to be bigger/stronger/faster before I join so I can be awesome.
I’m gonna live it up man, I’m goin to thailand for a month to train and after that I want to be tehre for 6 months to train muay thai.
Also job/money wise. Im doing electrical, in my dads electrical company…not a big company or anything…but pretty successfull and I could have a bright future in it. Good pay etc…but my heart has always been in military shit…not so much soldier…more so special forces type thing…I guess I am an adrenaline junkie in a way.
I wonder if I’ll regret spending all my time working, coming home, lifting weights/doing muay thai/spending time with the girl
Cause that’s all I’ve done. LITERALLY everyday same routine for the last 2 years…
And also obsessing over meals, sleep, foam rolling ahha.
Doing the same shit every god damn day. Work, lift, muay thai, prepare meals, sleep early. repeat everyday.
I actually went out with my friends last weekend…but I’m too much of a paranoid fuck to relax and am sketchy and think everyones out to get me.
On a side note we met some ladiesss lol…I meet girls if I go out and they want more of me, but I’m taken. It’s happened dozens of times I decline.
But I love muay thai, and I love lifting and I can’t ever give that up…perhaps I should focus 100% of my time into one of them though and see what happens…
Sometimes I just feel there’s a whole world out there and it’s more than just lifting weights…seeing places, and just knowing more information about other things than just lifting and nutrtion. Fuck I need to read a book lol.

i think i am you bro. I have no luck with girls because I don’t every go out or do anything, even though many of the ones i manage to come into contact with dig me, I’m too fucking stupid to do anything about it, also the kind of girls im into are intimidated by 200+ lb guys
If I could go back and tell myself anything it would be…
don’t listen to assholes.
and they are ALL assholes.
I wish I never listened to a single fucking person but myself.
-Had real friends
-Went to school
-Got over sexual hang-ups before it was too late
-Trained
Keep em coming…
Fucked more chicks
lol i don’t wanna be in your situation horsepuss, but if i keep my girlfriend…i don’t want to wish i did more chicks fuck
Biggest regret right now is I wish I had figured out I had ADHD. I did really well in school despite it because i was fairly gifted…but now that i’ve dealt with it i’m fucking awesome at my job. I look back and see so much I could have accomplished without this dragging me down. Before this year I never felt like I had ever worked one hard day in my entire life and I had just gotten by on luck…
But I can’t complain too much…i’m still only 23.
