Well, figured that putting myself out there on sites like Plenty of Fish, Ok Cupid and Match would be the best way to get over my ex-gf. Then I decided, I don't give a fuck right now. This summer is my summer. I've always been shy about going to a pool, taking my shirt off in public (at a pool...OMG... overweight dude!), but today, I was like, "Fuck it." And you know what? No one cared.
I've let this shit control me way too long. It's time to be comfortable with me. It's time to not let me poor self-image get in the way of me having fun. I met some cool people today. Some guys in my neighborhood that saw me running this morning, that offered me some words of encouragement. Some chill people at my friend's pool, talked about tattoos and Suicide Girls.
If I could write myself a letter now, that I could read myself about 10-15 years ago? Christ... I really let myself get in the way of myself.
Get out of your own way. Life your life in 'I don't give a fuck' mode. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be considerate of other people, but live your life for you.
To quote from one of my favorite movies, Role Models, "Do what makes you happy." Don't compromise. You are awesome. Don't let anyone bring you down.
Only you have the power to change what's going on in your life. Don't settle. If you don't like the path you're on, take control and change it.
That all being said...I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend. If you're not in the US? Have an awesome weekend anyway.
