I consider myself far ahead of everyone my age, in more ways than one. I will provide some background first to add context.

I have been raised since 2 by a single mother working full time to support my existence. Father and mother divorced around that time and I spent the next 13 years going to that side of my family every summer to visit. For the majority of my childhood, I was just like every other kid with daddy issues. Angry at the world with no idea why, acting out in school, getting into trouble nonstop. Fast forward to age 15. I had been a soccer player my entire life and that was my sole purpose, to play. Since 11 had played club, with multiple teams, flown all across the US to play in cups and showcases. Freshman year I get put on my ass by a senior varsity defender, crack my L5, I never recovered. I fell into a deep depression, started smoking weed and this was the spark of a 2 year downfall. My life totally lost all purpose, all motivation, all I wanted to do at this point was drugs to escape my emotions. I got a job at sonic initially to save for my new sportbike( had been riding motorcycles most of my adolescence), but spent all of it on weed. One thing led to another, I ended up in court with charges, hearing from the side of my family that I saw for a few weeks every year that I was a disappointment, that I am always messing up and causing trouble. Spent the next 2 years in and out of juvie for these things and truancy, did a lot of drugs to experiment, ended up in a lot of bad situations that could have ended my life period, etc. All along I knew I was doing shit I shouldn't be, that I had to establish a new sense of direction and acknowledge where I was falling victim to myself.

One day I was browsing some forums and came across a post that referenced " taking the red pill ", I am an extremely intellectual and curious person, this led me to ravaging every ounce of TRP material I could find online until the sun was coming up the next day. My world did a 360, I contemplated my entire existence for about a week and began making changes. I had a girlfriend ( if you can call it that) during this 2 year period, and I started with her. Told her that I realized she was using me for leverage, that she was a narcissistic bitch and would never have given me any credit or support in trying to change things that were taking place. I spent so much of that time clinging on to her because I WAS CONVINCED she actually was there for me, but every time I ended up face down in a pile of shit she was just standing over me with a fucking boot to make sure I stayed there. I realized, for the first time, and actually considered it reality, that no body was going to teach me how to man the fuck up and handle my problems. I accepted that my father chose to leave me without a man to guide me, to show me how to be that, a man. I realized that I suffered from a, how do you say..."pussified" thought process and mannerism. I realized that not only have I been taken advantage of by plenty of females, I have completely lacked the pair to take care of myself, of my problems. I started a strict exercise regime, lifting 5 days a week and the other 2 I will do some running or swimming.

Fast forward to now, about to turn 19. -Make almost 6 figures a year with my job, real estate investment, and some clothing things. -I graduated high school ahead of my class.

  • Do not have a girlfriend, do not wish for one at this point
  • Have had such a fruitful sex life I sometimes forget I'm under the drinking age
  • Have totally abandoned almost all besides 3 people I knew in the past 3 years, due to their plethora of self destructive behaviors, inability to learn to handle life's challenges -Am moving out to live on my own in 2 months in New York City
  • Have established myself as part of a clothing design team
  • still gym 5 days a week
  • have no trouble making decisions and telling females what is and isn't going to happen

When I swallowed the red pill, I made a transition so vast and overwhelming i don't even recognize who i was a year ago. When I swallowed the red pill, I started paying my mothers bills and making sure she wasn't worried about me. When I swallowed the red pill, I stopped doing drugs daily, I stopped avoiding staring my problems in the eyes and handling them, I stopped being a beta.

Take the red pill, and man the fuck up.

EDIT---

I got into real estate after talking to one of my friends older brothers who had done the same. He advised I get my license, study as much as possible, and try to start meeting agents. So I did that, I went to some open houses, got turned away multiple times due to being so young blah blah, but eventually found someone willing to show me the ropes. I shared 50% of commission with him until I was ready to handle these things on my own.
