Default advice needed

Hi guys,

At the minute my situation is pretty bad. I’m not in good shape; not earning a living, I’ve got a really bad reputation and I’m living at home with my parents. I’ve been trying to improve my situation but have been going the wrong way about it. I tried to change way too much at once and lost all focus. I’ve actually come a long way from where I was and if you knew me before you might see that, I’ve still got a long way to go and I refuse to feel sorry for myself.

I’m dealing with a LOT of social prejudice right now but that’s just how it is. I’ve done and said so many stupid things, but I’ll try to live and learn from them and I don’t regret them, I try to understand why and change. I like who I am, I like life and I’m going to live a fulfilled one. I'm gonna do and learn what it takes. I've already got a plan to improve my health.

I’d want to ask for advice and ideas, and I welcome constructive criticism. I’ll take it on board. I’m motivated to do this for the good times ahead. I think I could be an example of someone who came through a hard time and was better off for it.

Have you thought of moving to another country/place?
It can be cheap if you want it to be, best way to get out of judgement, social quagmire and status quo horse manure. Reboot yourself. Work out hard. Get born a mutant. Then make a heroic return that challenges rusty perceptions. Onward then, through the looking glass!

Cheers.

I like the city where I live but I also like the idea of moving to another country/place, would help I think. I've done it before but was never really ready for it, so never made the most of it. I've got a couple of problems with the idea though,
1. I would'nt move to run away, just to build a better lifestyle.
2. I just don't have the money to do something like that.
3. I wouldn't know where to go anyway.

So at the minute i'm staying put, my plan to sort my health out is underway and I'm going to get in touch with a few old friends I haven't seen in a while, see what happens. cheers
