You're a big badass now, aren't you?

[kordoyn]

-Obama's election was a life changing experience. I will forever cherish this great moment in human history and think it is more significant than sending man to the moon, or that time Sharon Stone flashed me on film.

- When I was filled with hope.

- When change happened.

Lol, awesome.

1. When my family became really poor and we had to start feeling what it was like not to have everything given to us.

2. Getting my first job, not that the job was very hard but made me feel like I was doing something on my own and being responsible.

3. Breaking up with my first real gf, didn't handle it very well but definitely was a life progression experience.

1. Realizing that every individual has character flaws and that most people are highly irrational.
2. Quitting my first job after enduring continuous disrespect.

2 When I finished high school and realised how much time I wasted there.

3 When my dad lost his job after 20 years because of the economic climate.


1 made it so I don´t get pissed off a people´s flaws as fast, 2 taught me that public education isn´t there to help me at all, and 3 showed me that someone´s misfortune isn´t always his own fault.

1. Realizing the flaws in religion and getting passed the delusion that was induced by my parents throughout childhood.
2. Looking at the world from a pessimisstic point of view and seeing how fucked up everything and everyone is.
3. Getting my first hooker.

[Helgeran]

1. When I realized crying over shit is super annoying I stopped.
2. I realized that everyone is a whore (extremely important realization, pretty much turned me from socially awkward to socially awesome over night).

That's pretty much it. Got a long way to go.
