I have never posted to thankstrp, but I saw today that I have a "1 year club", and I created this account when I joined rp. So I guess I have been here a year. What a year.. I went through the divorce, through being single, the death of a parent, and a few girlfriends. countless one night stands, dates from pof, okc, tinder.. god I love tinder..

Challenged myself to approach, night and day. found day game much easier than night game. then found night game much easier than day game.

worked out, lost a bunch of weight, gained some back, then lost it again. doing pushups and situps daily.. will never look back. from size 42 to size 36 jeans...

Aside from everything, is the fundamental respect I have for myself. It is not even all about women, but that is nice.. it is about the fact that no one disrespects me. My kids see that, and they love it. I love that they look up to me. That I have 4 women that want more commitment from me than I am willing to give them, and they all look up to me. That I can flirt everyday if I wanted, or sometimes just don't give a shit. That I am not lashed down by anyone's expectations of me. That I trust myself to handle what life gives me, and that by doing so, life gives me some pretty good stuff.

career wise, I am having the best financial year of my life. I received three promotions last year, and am on target for a 250 year.

I have not faced my fears and won, I have learned to embrace my fears and my anxieties and by doing so realized that there is nothing that can stop me. I have no desire to be anyone else.. not some rockstar, not some movie star, not some athlete.. I am me, and that contains more power than I can convey in words.

I cannot give rp all the credit, I learned from many places along the way, but this place was and continues to be a fundamental place that contributed to the mindset changes needed to become who I am today.
