Getting rid of the Leeches
(Don't know if this is the right thread btw)

Ranting/Rambling ahead…

I’m sitting in front of my PC at 2 AM, surfing the web. I’ve been in this same room since noon when I woke up. I actually had classes today from 8-5, but didn’t feel like going because of a little headache. Didn’t go grocery shopping, didn’t read my book, didn’t go to the gym and I didn’t even practice playing the drums. Basically this was a completely useless day, and I’ve had many in the past few months.

Think about that. This day could’ve been erased out of my life and I wouldn’t have lost ANYTHING.

I’m so F*cking sick and tired of this. Every day I think about becoming an entrepreneur and hitting it big, I binge-watch the Shark Tank to ‘get some ideas for my next business’, at least that’s what I tell myself. Just gotta wait for that million dollar idea and then I’ll make millions, right? Meanwhile I’m falling behind with school, I don’t study because ‘I won’t need that degree anyway once I got my business up and running’. Meanwhile I’m too lazy to even go grocery-shopping.

But every day I come home from university I fall back into my lazy self. It’s like some sort of magic force holding me back from the outside world, feeding me with instant gratification as I sit here playing games and browsing and masturbating and reading all this useless shit on Reddit and watching all this crap on Youtube. Once every blue moon I go to the gym or maybe get around to reading a book, and then I pat myself on the back as if I were some sort of genius for the rest of the day.

But not tomorrow. No, not tomorrow. I will write a list of things to do for tomorrow and I will cross out every item on that list for the first time in my life. 18 years of my life, that’s 1/5 already gone and I have some mediocre school grades and some basic skills to show for it.

I always start making these huge resolutions if it’s after midnight, but when I wake up in the morning I’m back to my old self, doing jack shit all day. But if I learned anything from reading all these posts, it’s that you don’t become successful overnight. It will take a long time to get rid of all these time-wasters, these leeches, and even longer before I can start thinking about becoming an entrepreneur.

I don’t know what it will take for me to get out of this trainwreck. But I will start logging my progress (if I have any) on this forum as some sort of diary. And if, by some unknown reason, someone is reading this, feel free to tear me a new one if I don’t continue these posts regularly.

So I guess we will see tomorrow if I’m still here. Wish me luck on what will hopefully be a new start for me.


-Piranha

P.S.: I hope this was at least a little coherent. Hopefully these posts will get better grammatically and stylistically as I go on with my journey.
