Sincerely Lyking When You Cry

I do this pseudo manic-depressive thing where I go through extreme highs and lows in self image. I’ve managed to define myself around the things I’m good at, and sometimes I get beaten at the things I’m good at. So I feel like I’m shit. Because I’m not the best, and my entire self image depends on other people.

I’m keeping my eye on it.

At the beginning of this year I was reminded how essential it is to be someone on your own. Maybe this Tumblr should stay follower-less. Maybe this becomes a messy list that then becomes who I am.

I can’t keep being a 16 year old boy who gets A’s in Drama, Literature and Chemistry.

“Each relationship between two persons is absolutely unique. That is why you cannot love two people the same. It simply is not possible. You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you.” - The Shack (William P. Young); submitted by lets-get-krunk. Thank you!

There’s a teenager who learned to code at a young age because he’s never really had anything else to do. It’s not that he’s “gifted” or especially talented, although he’d like to think so, he just spends a lot of time immersed online and never liked the idea of World of Warcraft.

His parents are typical in the way that every parent is when you’re 14. Caring is mistaken for concern and one day the teenager says he’s had enough. On this particular day the argument was about his “future” particularly financially.

The teenager reads an eBook on business, the first chapter is about designing a product everyone needs. So the teenager thinks about products everyone “needs” and he realizes that everyone “needs” sex, right?

So he starts a porn website.

And as he faces the different challenges that come with that new company, he also learns more about how to talk to people, and meets someone that makes him feel unalone.
