How is your redemption arc coming along? You are working towards a happy ending,right?
How is your redemption arc coming along? You are working towards a happy ending,right?
I honestly dont know what the fuck is going on anymore. I just bee myself and go with the flow and have found myself in progressively dumber situations to the point that I constantly have thoughts such as "wtf is happening" and "this is so fucking stupid".
But I also go to uni and do well and keep up with my responsibilities and fitness. Guess I have this sort of double personality, one which is going through the redemption arc and another one that is still in a bizarre part of life.
>I honestly dont know what the fuck is going on anymore
This THis THIS. A thousand times this
I lost hold of the narrative like two years ago. I don't even know what the hell is going on now
Do you really not know what to do with yourself?im sure their is something,literally anything,you want in life you could want. Hell even give yourself an impossible task to try and do. Life is about the journey after all.
Great. Stopped being a neet and went back to school for electronics engineering technology. Worked my ass off and got a summer job at the schools applied energy research lab that starts on July 2nd. Had jaw surgery on June 10th to fix my underbite (what I hate most about myself) and I'm just sitting around drinking milkshakes and chocolate milk while playing video games and waiting for the job to start. Life is good right now...though I really do miss solid food.
>was a sporty, popular douchebag in HS
>now I'm just a washed up, friendless grey worker drone
I sit in front of my mirror wearing my old gold medals from sports and wondering how it could go wrong like this. I don't think any kind of redemption could bring me back to my glory days or make me happy again. I'm too old to have a real future now. At best I can have a living.
I am 100% happy for you,you washed up fuckin douche.
i've almost made it a week without doing drugs, including caffeine and nicotine
I'm waiting for my parents to die so they don't have to know I killed myself.
Caffine is fine though. Just get some coffee or tea cause that shit is good for you?
But they'll see you do it in heaven

What do you think brehs? Is my life going to fall apart again? Been on an upward trajectory for a good while but today was a bad day.
>Be born a literal and social autist

It's been two years since I've graduated high school and it seems like my life is stuck in a loop and will never advance beyond holding a minimum wage slave position. GF is thankfully still with me and we spend my days off together. Depression seems to have become chronic and I can hardly function around my family or at work anymore.
I think my narrative is just a dark comedy with an inevitable tragic ending and arcs that are either non-exist or inconsequential.
absolutely not
and I resent the fact that someone would even think that
>everyone gets a second chance at life to fix every mistake and make things wright
>you realize you are living yours already
>Friendless NEET since dropping out of college at 22
>morbidly obese KHHV since forever
>Lose weight and enlist in air force at 27
>make new friends, do fun stuff
>get laid a bunch and have some terrible but entertaining relationship experiences
Damn bro, congrats. As a somewhat lukewarm Christians the biggest thing that I always wanted was a Christian friend that I could relate to. Just keep grinding
Too blackpilled to really bother
Is it possible to just go to a rehab center?College? I'd say just grind for a year and see where that takes you
Doubt itll be happy
I'm trying to get stronger and stockpile gear/learn techniques that are useful in emergency/survival situations from simple shit like "I have a headache" "I'm having a hard day" to actual danger like "I just got stabbed" "this guy is after me". I've got first aid, tools, food, blankets, lights, some medicine, and other misc stuff. Working on finding a way to heat water without setting something on fire but it seems like electric heating elements have a really high wattage requirement.
My end goal is just to help people, really. My stuff has come in handy a few times
Redemption? From what? What crime did I commit to deserve this life? Its always been a story of me against the world, and the world won.
bad. I'm trying to sell my car so I can hire a marketing team for my product and finally start seeing some royalties and media acknowledgment. I have until the 1st of June to do so
Also, I figuratively work in a fucking asylum where the managers micromanage you by the security cameras that hover through every angle of the store. It's not a maximum level security level dude, it's a fucking thift store; let me take an extra cigarette break
My environment overall just does nothing, but accelerate the deterioration of my mind and I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to last, I'm really putting in my best foot forward here.
My life is legitimately starting to burn in front of my eyes and I just don't know what the fuck is going on at this point
I'm really happy for you user. Keep your eyes on the prize and keep that boat sailing straight sailor
>I have until the 1st of June to do so
user, I'm not sure how to tell you this, but...
*maximum security prison*
christ, I really fucked that part up
only antagonists deserve a redemption arc user
I'm just a side character
Yo! Was Envy a boy or a girl? A trap perhaps? I like FMA, but not enough to waste a google search on it.
Weakness is the gravest sin of all,for it opens the window for many other sins to take root inside your head.
He wasnt human. He could transform into literally anyone at any time no matter what so really he could be whatever you wanted him to be.
I did well in community college finally and a university is giving me a full ride to a bachelors
and it only took me until I was 26, after years of crippling alcoholism and antisocial behavior
Damn why is everyone making break throughs at 27 in this thread?
It's going well, half a year after a break up I'm getting in shape again, studying for a graduate program. Slowly I am gaining more interest in my studies and outdoor activities and decreasing the amount of time playing games. I guess my arc is rebuilding myself and finding who I am again.
>probably a narcissist
>been motivated and confident to work out and basically get better
>this girl and Etika going missing kind of fucked up my whole vibe
>gonna start working out Monday
>gotta focus on yourselves
>haven't made any in real friends ever because I'm mentally fucked
>mental illness gets worse because I'm lonely
>Still have to put up the facade of being normal in public so I can get by
>Have to deal with pretending to be normal as to not worry my relatives
>loneliness has pretty much ruined me to core
I'm going to college and getting help, but I'm not optimistic. I've had people in public look at me and be scared.
Envy is a shapeshifter with no gender in FMA Brotherhood. In the 2003 one he is male.
nice nepotism you lucky faggot.
No redemption arc just solidarity
>give yourself an impossible task to try and di
that's just a recipe for misery and to damage your self esteem even further
The real advice is NOT to set big goals. Cause you will probably not achieve them and feel helpless, hopeless, and useless. You should set small goals, and once you've accomplished them go to something a little but bigger
I say this but I am spiraling down out of control, lost all my friends and dropped out of uni. So maybe don't listen to me
if I wasn't qualified I wouldn't have gotten the job, but yeah mostly I just finally got lucky
