well jesus isnt this a great thread.
Yes, yes it is.
7 years ago:
-was 14
-in love with Pokemon
-still had a heavy African accent
-knew perfect french and spoke 4 different languages
-was fascinated with love
-started to hate school, but wasn't at the point where my grades were shit. i was only beginning to hate school
-went to church every week. I was heavily involved with my church actually, went more than once a week usually
-girls ;),
but they sadly did not seem to notice me :( or have any interest in me.
-confidence with girls was in the crapper
-i hesitated to tell people that my name was JESUS and i insisted that they call me Joseph[middle name] instead
-would never dream of drinking or doing drugs, i even hated cursing
-i wanted to be a singer or actor, nothing else would do, NOTHING ELSE.
-i would soon start putting on weight............a lot of weight
-went to the library all the time for some reason
-it wasn't easy for me to make friends. i had friends but i was still getting used to the whole Africa to America cultural differences etc etc, this made some things hard for me.
-i had my first and only bully, he was from mexico, about 6 feet tall and i would say around 260 pounds. there's a funny story as to why he was my first and ONLY bully EVER.
TODAY:
-21 years old
-i do not play as much anymore but i still love pokemon.
-i still have a heavy African accent but have developed and mastered my American accent, which one you hear depends where you're from
-my french is shit and i'm not even confident in saying that i speak 3 languages. Guess that is what happens when you decide you're only going to speak English, at least that choice helped in me developing an outstanding american accent.
-I am still fascinated with love. This might explain why, it doesnt matter if i'm fat or skinny, Average body or really nice body and i'm getting a lot of attention from the opposite sex, i'll always be a 1 girl type of guy, or why its so hard for me to have sex without some sort of connection between the girl and I, its like i have to feel something for her.
-I'm starting to like school again and my grades are getting back to what they usually were like when i liked school, lowest grade i got after exams was a B in Philosophy 115.
-i barely go to church now but i'm still a religious person.
-I notice girls even more now and they notice me as well and show interest now.......now. all because i dropped a few pounds[hrrmmm] and have a body they typically lust after, man, fuck bitches yo[just kidding ladies, i have no bitterness or anything like that towards girls].
-even though things have changed dramatically, my confidence with girls is still only slightly better to be honest. i'm still really getting used to the attention
-now i don't care as much about telling people my name is Jesus and a lot of people call me Jesus over Joseph. eh
-i'm more relaxed now on the subject of drugs and alcohol and cursing
-I've dropped the weight i put on and i'm working on the body I've always wanted, its not easy but like everything, i'm taking it one step at a time.
-i still want to be a singer or actor but i'm working on getting my education out of the way first. I've also come to realize and accept that i would actually be happy in my chosen field should the whole big shot actor/rockstar thing not work out. That was one of the deciding factors, why i want to first get my degree out of they way.
-whats a library?
-now i make friends easily, i don't even have to do anything
