Haven't posted anything for a while & last night couldn't really sleep so I thought maybe this is my subconciousness punishing me for some random thing... But what could it be since things in my life seem to be going rather smooth atm... Random questions arose, such as: Am I contributing enough to the community which learned me the utmost importance of male friendships, now that I have surrounded myself with real men of value? Have I been neglecting my TRP-brothers who helped me through the turmoil&hardships when no one else could? Brothers. Because that's what this post is about and that's what we are here.

There was a post long time ago which stated that TRP is basically a motor car workshop. This is probably the best metaphor there is for TRP. Most of us are here because we were somehow broken, poorly handled, purposely damaged; some even to the point of being shattered to pieces and in need of a patient reassembly. As we undergo reconstruction, we also learn the basics of safe driving, i.e. how not to be a threat to others on the road and most importantly – to ourselves. Some of us during this proces become capable of unleashing hidden force which we were previously unaware of. We become what we were designed to be – sports cars, fastest on the highway.

But it is a painstaking process. A process which requires us to let go of our previous beliefs & paradigms, but most importantly – our toxic BP friends. We must stride all alone for a while. It's painful, yeah, but it's only a part of the process. In the meantime we learn to be autonomous & self-reliant. Whether it's as simple as maintaining proper hygiene, nourishing the body with proper foods or uplifting our inner being with Socrates' wisdom. When we exit the ''why me?'' adolescent phase, pick our own shit up and take responsibility for our very own actions, we also learn the importance of real male friendships.

''Women really do make shitty friends!'' - no one has told you ever. But now you know and you trade respect for worth. You are not afraid to modestly ask the strongest fella in the gym to show you the proper technique to lift the iron off of the ground because – you don't know it all, how possibly could you? In all areas of life you meet people who exceed you at a certain ability. Are you gonna be embittered because of that like your ex-friends or are you gonna learn something from them? Naysayers denounce themselves frequently.

Since the beggining of my own RP journey, I have lost quite a few friends. I was stabbed in the back by several of them while some of them were just leeching off of me. I believe some of you went through similar experiences. Rumination is bad so don't indulge, because today we have contrast and contrast came as a result of the process. Life organically gives you new opportunities, new friends. Those from which you learn and those which you can learn.
