how much have u change in the last 5 years ?

[The Duke of Earl]

im startin to look at myself and it a trip how on how much i've changed . i don't like drinking, i used to drink all the time and pop and snort coke every now and then (i was a social user lol yeah right give me a gang of white girl and i'd do it all),i alway told myself i'd go to a JC and try to play football that never happend i didnt realize how dumb i was until i was 21 and even then it took another 2 years to get alot of that out of my system .it feels good not to get arrested and go to the drunk tank , it feels to not to worry about bullshit and to set and accomplish goals . i dont know i just had to get that out . im blessed and thankful and wouldnt change a thing i cant make my past diffrent but i can make my future great

wow this is a very good thread, kudos on this Bear!

i wa slooking back as well today, and it felt good knowing how much i've learned and accomplished in just 5 years.
i always knew my education was first because that was the only good thing that happened in my life...so that was pretty given, but knowing the emotional growth and understanding i got now is wonderful.

same thing w/ drugs, if i was given coke, 1/8th of weed, anything, i wouldnt' evne think to smoke it, snort it, sell it, i'd straight up flush it away, no use for it here.

^^^lol i dont know about throwing out an 1/8 of tree out, but i feel you.
I've seen alot of growth in myself from even a year ago. Ive matured alot and the
results are very visible, from people seeing me different, to just being able to lay down
goals and go after them. all i want to do now is love what i do and do what i love...nothing more nothing less.

 

[rekomstop]

yup lol. well i'm just showing that to me it holds no value in my life any longer.
lol a year ago, you would have seen me smoke all of that to the dome!

everyone should change a lot in 5 years. if you're not learning new shit and reinventing yourself and opinions, somethings wrong or youre hella old...

 

[rekomstop]

lol unfortunately there is a lot of people that really dont' see much change in themselves over 5 years, ask my damn gramma she still sit in the living room watching t.v. all day.
its sad really.

I still feel like the same person............

 

[The Duke of Earl]

I've thought about this alot. 2 and a half yrs ago i moved from everything i knew. I mean completely left all the bullshit i was doing behind me. I'm still good with my fam back there but i felt i needed a change. One of my other friends moved to cali and we've talked alot about how moving was the best thing we could do. I dropped outta college 4 yrs ago and am going back this fall. I dropped out cause financial aid pissed me off on multiple occasions and i was sick of it. I said i would never go back to school, but now i really can't wait too. I talk to my friends now about the same old shit, but now were also talking politics, and books we think we need to read, shit like that. its crazy thinkin i was 21 five years ago and how much i've grown since then.

my daughter was born 5 years ago, and that very marker in my life led to a chain reaction of me turning from a boy to a man

5 years ago I was 16 years old. Shiet, still lived in Cali and was doing what most other 16 year olds is doing I guess. Since then I've been to 3 different countries, lived on the East Coast, and now I live in the homeland Korea. I'd say I've gone thru hella experiences good and bad and just plain different that changed me a lot these past 5 years. I've definitely become a lot more "realistic" in my views on shiet tho I think. 5 years from now, I'll probably have been thru even more shit and seen more things to help me go thru other changes in my life.

Shiet, that's like a lot of the homies too tho. I still got a gang of homies that at home and been there forever and prolly will be there forever. But it's still a lot that's either livin in Daygo or up in the bay or wherever doing all kinds of shiet. That's one thing that's changed a lot in the past 5 years. The homies I was kickin it with every day and was like do or die for, don't really speak wit em as much these days. Done had a lot of fallin out with homies from back then too. shieet
