I'm 19 years old.
I am handsome, smart, athletic and virile.
I have a novel that is in it's final editing stage, and a creative writing professor at my college has read the first draft and thinks it's saleable.
I have a girlfriend who is confident, articulate, playful and spontaneous.
I have a small group of interesting friends from different social and academic backgrounds, and I also have many other acquaintances who see me as a reliable source of humour and good company.
Both my parents are alive and in good health.
I have no regrets.
I have already experienced three existential crises, the latter of which was described as having the depth and profundity of a man twice my age.
I am a passionate lover, a sharp thinker, and a trader of witty repartee.
I am not self-pitying, meek or needlessly humble.
I will live a good life at your expense.

Rule breaking ruffian. Keep up the good work, but spank your disrespect for OP's mandate.
cocksure 4 sure, too. Moderate that bruv.
Also:
>the latter of which was described as having the depth of profundity of a man twice my age
who did the describing? what was the circumstance? why was it profound and deep? Please share your story–fiction or not, literature abound.
>I will live a good life at your expense
What Machiavelli reincarnated? What do you mean? You cutthroat, harbor excessively will to power, who's expense, why?
Explain, because manure wafts in the air and my nostrils dilate drastically.
Also: I"m all for anti-authoritarianism and pushing the rule's envelopes, but stick to the program brother because you're clearly bragging unnecessarily like a toddler–albeit laconically and decisively.
Bottom line: unveil your bullshit and illuminate the truth as much as your psyche allows.

>>7519104
Thanks.
Again those are simply what I see in myself and someone else may not describe me that way.
But then that is the nature of the thread.
It's unfortunate I am reserved because I enjoy talking to like minded people, however they are often few and far in between, at least when you're reserved as I am.
I don't ignore others and am usually quite friendly, but I never make an effort to talk to others of my own accord unless I find them to be an exceptional person from my own observance.
The outside appearance doesn't always reflect the inside though.

The bit-built breeze wafts through cyberspace an air of intransigent sublimity–we need to be friends, because I'm very similar to you as you describe yourself. Pleasant, pleasing, and gregarious when need be, but only open myself up to 'exceptional persons' whom I can clearly perceive an inexplicable wisp of connectivity, likemindedness as you say.
I'd love to have more friends like you, because when you sight is so much clearer than the hazy eyed rabble rumbling about the streets–to not be too harsh–a single kindred spirit can shine the sky of your being like an Andromedan (if that's a word who care's) supernova illuminating a once abysmally dark canvas of the god–but please excuse my indulgent poetic waxing–I've had a handful of whisky and am therefore socially magnetic!
For: a drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts. And my thought is, we'll meet some day and discuss the depths of this muddled maelstrom we call reality (and get bitches).
Too forward?

An amusing and exceptionally written endeavor at expressing your thoughts on the matter.
So no it is not too forward nor do I think being too forward is something you or I do often anyway, thus making it excusable if that were indeed the case despite in this situation the case being describablely different.
I myself drink quite often, not to lose myself from reality but to join my own insight in a purer form. But more to find my weaknesses then my strengths. For the latter I find a certain fungi to be much more effective and it indeed leaves me floating for months on the wings of inspiration and spirit.

>>7519179
I gave a public speech on the therapeutic effects on magic mushrooms, and after extensive research, I do believe they are in their own way 'magic.'
They allow you to connect things you couldn't before, with things too; see the world anew, almost nascent; they've been known to mitigate the symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, cluster headaches, and even erase pervasive dogmatic indoctrinations lurking behind every street corner (for some at least, assuming you're in a good state of mind).
Beautiful lifeform, though, to say the least–!
But regarding liquor, give Rakia at try. It's a serbian brandy made from plums that finds the perfect balance between flavor and alc. content. A superb beverage!
Amaretto sours too.

I shall try those.
I normally try odd mixtures to find what works.
Most recently I had spiced rum with pomegranate/blueberry/raspberry lemonade.
Despite a high concentration of alcohol comparatively it was relatively weak in terms of strength.
Although in Warmer weather (given it is around 15 degrees Fahrenheit where I live currently) I like a gin & tonic it is a bit cold to have this time of year.
I should've liked to hear such a speech about the magic within the mushrooms. Unfortunately while sharing the knowledge they give you would be ideal the most you can really hope to persuade someone is to try them, because even the gullible don't always outright trust a stranger whether the whispers and shouts from their lips ring of the truth or not.

I really appreciate the ability to connect over internet based text forums as such in a digital climate that pervasively suffers from overly common contention and all-too-common pissing-wars.
it's a shame the status quo on this board is to establish any and all forms of superficial superiority stemming form insecurity and self esteem.
You have a pure soul, and I appreciate you as a human.
And please excuse my oversharing, for I'm several whiskies and milligrams of alprazolam deep. Such are the musings of an unabashed (transient) depressive. ;)
But, as i've said, we'll cross paths again. I'm sure of it. The world is excessively large, yet tiny for the unique. ;)
>>7519432
I believe we will meet. We may not know it but we shall. Our soul isn't defined but what we have done but what we will do, where as people judge others based on the former making it hard to find the true nature of people.
I appreciate your words, wisdom, and whole of being.
Thank you.
