Archived The MangaHelpers Confessional Thread - Part 1

[goldb]

I confess that I'm not afraid of dying or what comes after. One of my greatest fears, however, is leaving this world unchanged.

What do you want to achieve and/or remembered for before leaving?

I confess that I'm not afraid of dying or what comes after. One of my greatest fears, however, is leaving this world unchanged.

First part is the same. However, I want to have as much fun as possible. Seek the lulz, to put it aptly. I don't mind doing some of the most retarded things, as long as it's fun.

My fear, however, I confess is losing fun. How so? Goin blind, becoming para or quadriplegic, etc. I love being able to see and hear, and I love the freedom to walk and go wherever I want. I would be scared shitless if I ever lost this freedom. I'd rather face death than stay in bed all day or resort to wheelchair.


I confess I'm having horrible thoughts about the burden I'm putting on my parents, especially my dad, regarding our financial situation. We're having quite some problems, and my mom is not making me feel any better with all the nagging and blaming me. I'm thinking about few options, none which are too good. The least worst of them is just transferring all responsibilities to me and running away so they're not burdened, though I'm not sure how that'd work. The worst option would be devastatin for my parents, but I guess better.

What do you want to achieve and/or remembered for before leaving?

I would like to take part in a scientific advancement, but don't think I'll ever get to have enough education to really get to that goal.

What I really wish is that I could be a teacher because I admire them so much and they are the single most important group of people (other than my mom) that've shaped who I am. Too bad I have zero patience and hate kids.

If I turn 30 and still feel like I'm not really getting anywhere, I will resort to having a fucking kid. It's the easiest and most sure-fire way to make sure you've left a bit of yourself behind. I'm pretty sure it makes me a bad person for only ever wanting a child for such self-important reasons such as that, but eh. It is what it is. Plus I would probably make a pretty shitty mother.

 

[Adorien]

Well I think you'd be a good mother. And a very cool one too. And good luck with your goals!

 

[scav]

i confess i never thought i would miss her that much

 

[Adorien]

I confess that sometimes, when you're nice to other people, it really pays back.

Assuming you're not going on a shopping spree, I don't think there's any reason you should feel so bad to the point that you think about running away. It doesn't solve anything, on the contrary it makes both you and your parents miserable. If you leave your house, you have to find a job to make a living asap, you can do that without going away and rushing things, perhaps you can even contribute to the family budget. Whatever your mother says, I'm sure she wouldn't like to lose touch with you, no child is such a burden to his/her parents, it's just her way of relieving stress (contrary to bottling up her emotions) and pressuring you into doing what she thinks is best for you. Stress is your worst enemy, try to think with a clear mind and you'll be fine.

Those first 2 are some really good targets, hope you get to at least do one of them. Teaching would be the easiest option and most feasible option, just depends on how much you want it I guess and you'd have to learn to be patient with children.

While having a child is the easiest way to leave a legacy or a part of yourself behind, raising a child isn't easy, and again you'd need a lot of patience. But you're still young, by the time you're reaching 30 your opinion on children will most likely change and you'd be more prepared to have one. Life experiences and all

i confess i never thought i would miss her that much

Miss who?

I confess that marathoning Code Geass season 1 was a bad idea before a math quiz. I'm still in something like a vegetative state (which always happens when I see/read something that surprised me) and I'm trying to cram this confusing abstract algebra stuff into my skull (since it's a summer class, it moved beyond me in 2 days and now I'm lost).

Test - 40min and counting...

College and dorm room, basically. Costs 559 for the apartment and about 37 for utilities. Apparently dad's balking on insurance payment so I can keep the apartment. Plus, I tend to chalk up about $300 in credit card costs per month... around 2-400.

Tryin to get a job, but it's hard. Plus, I wouldn't be that miserable. I'd be having an adventure! \o/ I'd 'miss the stability, but the unknown is what makes life fun. In any case, I hate being such a burden to my parents. All because college is fucking expensive, which is bullshit.


IT's like America doesn't want you to get an education, or they prefer elites get education. Colleges are also operating more like businesses, hirin teachers that are fucking hard to understand. Annoys me so much.

You're taking Abstract Algebra? @_@

A brave soul indeed. Abstract is NOT one of the words I ever want to hear while in a mathematics course... That, and "proof".

 

[Adorien]

I confess... I confess... I confess...


I confess I might be confessing soon!

 

[M3J]

I confess I enjoyed reading about a woman who criticized Obama for the healthcare plan years ago, but when she got cancer, the healthcare plan allowed her to find a state insurance or something. Then she publicly apologized to Obama.

I confess I loved the message of that story.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

I confess I didn't expect Italy to win against Germany yesterday.

 

[Adorien]

I confess that I finally understand that I only have myself.

 

[M3J]

Maybe you are in real life, but not online. You have us.


I confess I'm kinda beginning to feel grateful to some of the higherups, mainly those that have known me the longest like goodsy, Kait, and Gary, for putting up with me and my attitude.

Bite my shiny metal ass anyway.

 

[xi0]

I put up with you because I enjoy your kolaveri di so much...otherwise you'd be dead already

 

[M3J]

I haven't forgotten about the attacks on me in the hotel room, you bighead bear. -_-

and you haven't seen my kolaveri di yet. Hmph. Maybe once or twice.

 

[xi0]

I've seen it plenty

 

[Charlie]

@ m3j - I hear your kolaveri di has girth.
