Long time no see. I’ve been away and I am coming back to post this, some random thoughts that can potentially help you. If I could talk to 15-year old me, he wouldn’t believe what kind of life he would have just eight years later. He was a fucking pussy. I guess there comes a time when you have banged your head against a wall enough times to get you wondering “what the fuck is wrong with me?” and, when that time comes, you have two options: you can keep trying the same things you’ve always tried which got you no results or you can step back and work out what can you change to improve yourself and your life, but you have to be patient about it. Currently, I am doing what I love to do, opportunities keep piling up and I have three plates. My life right now wasn’t even portrayed in my wildest wet dreams back then, and I have no imposter syndrome about it, because everything I have ever gotten was because of my efforts and capacity to search and understand the inner workings of myself and human nature. Real confidence needs proof, not promises. If I told you my problems right now, I would be bragging – but that position didn’t come without pain. Pain is your friend, if you are stoic about it, and you should not depend on other people to alleviate you from it. It is your pain, not theirs.

Forget women, understand life. Masculinity is about strengthening your reality to the point of no anxiety – that’s frame, but be skeptic for a sufficient period of time, that is “philosophizing with a hammer” as Nietzsche would call it, question what you believe and, when almost all possibilities you can consider have spent enough time in your mind, choose the one you trust to be the best. Have a passion bigger than life and make peace with death. I have no fear of dying - I’m in my early twenties and I have already done almost everything I wanted to do. I can think of two things left to be done, but, if I died tomorrow, I would leave this existence with a smile on my lips. Life is a tragedy, just as much as it is beautiful – and that is funny as fuck. Being here is a strange and complex mystery, one we will possibly never resolve, but all you have to do is appreciate it. That’s real power. Most of you keep chasing sex and instant gratification as a solution to all your life’s problems. They are not. They are the icing on the cake. Happiness is overrated and, when you adopt this mentality, you’ll be left with something more important – meaning. Sexual satisfaction and the feeling of being appreciated on this planet are a need, but most of you can’t get these by being lucky or waiting for divine intervention. You must put in the effort. Modern hedonism is a form of individual control, indulging in it places you among the herd. When you’ve internalized the concepts in this subreddit, step out into the real world. You are not philosophy, you are made of flesh and blood – act like it. The biggest life hack I can possibly give you is to take risks and assume responsibility for what comes from what you do, because that’s what testosterone has been asking from you for all these years you’ve been alive.
