Fight club inspired me

Any one else on here love the film "fight club" with Edward Norton and Brad Pitt! Its awesome!. I love the films sentiments and its actually quite inspiring!. That "i don’t give a crap" about the establishment appeals to me loads!. One of the reasons I believe why we give so much of a shit about acne is that we pay too much attention to what the mass media tells us. Companies like Clearasil, proactive don’t care about your face clearing up all they care about is bleeding u dry and trying to make u conform to this bullshit image of crystal clear skin so you buy there product. Hardly anyone has crystal clear skin like these airbrushed models have!. All too often people try to live there life’s like these vacuous celebrities we see on the television, news and internet 24/7 and try to live there life so they can be like them. FUCK that!. Im proud to be me acne and all rather than some flawless skinned thick celb with no personalitly!.

My take on acne,life and everything

A few months ago I had a total breakdown in regards to acne. I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning, I really despised the way I looked, I went in a total shell, I had no job or life. Now three months on im on the road to recovery. Im gradually looking better tho I still get breakouts. So physically I have not totally recoverd yet but im on the road to mental recovery although i do still suffer the odd blimp. Heres how im achieving this:-

1. Self worth-Everyone means something. NO BODY here is meaningless. Someone loves them be it there parents,gf/bf,Best friend brother sister. Hardly anyone is totally alone. With that in the back of your mind it makes it easy to never feel totally alone even on your worse days.

2.Creating your own perception and image of the world. Alot of people on this forum I believe take into account too much what other people, society etc thinks of them. This is reinforced by the mass media showing unrealistic images of how we should appear, rude remarks from idiotic people at school,even from family and freinds. Dont pay too much attention to this crap. Live life in the way you want to not how some bullshit magazine,celbraty,jerk at school/college tells you to.

3. Postive thinking reading and exercise-These things are an enormous help. Its all too easy to give up in life. Read books on how people who are in far worse situations than you have achieved things in life regardless of the odds stacked against them. My favorite is reading about Joseph Merrick the Elephant man. Read about him on wikipedia or something or buy the film the elephant man. He had the WORST facial deformities ever yet he rose above it all and wrote some beaufiull peoms. Also running and weight lifting are great for forgetting about acne for a little bit and make you feel better.

4. People dont care that much as you think about your acne- The only people who will make fun of you are people who have problems themself or are ingrained in the stupid everyone should look perfect culture. Ok there are plenty of those people about. However there are also plenty of people about who couldn’t give a shit about it and appreciate you for who you are. Personality is key in overcoming acne and people will much rather be with someone in the long term with acne, than a dull,boring,idtiotic person with clear skin. Remember acne does eventually fade away to some degree and personality does not.

5. Theres always someone worse off than you-It may not see it esp if your surrounded by people with crystal clear skin-but as with everything in life there is someone whos worse off than you and feels the same way. This makes you feel better.

6. Finally humour-Having a sense of humor is a great asset. The ability to laugh even in the darkest of situations can help you overcome this crap.

Thanks for reading and I await feedback

Inspiring poem-read people:)

I WILL NEVER GIVE UP

I will never give up
No matter what the odds are
No matter what people say
No matter how far
I will never give up

If I throw it away time after time
If I am one step behind try after try
If I miss dime after dime
I will never give up

Even when it seems all over
Even when no one else believes
Even when it seems I can go no further
I will never give up

For I know I have strength within
For I know I can persevere
For I know that I can win
I will never give up

Because it's someone else's fault
Because I am settling for good enough
Because I fear that I will fall short
I will never give up

There is so much I can still do
There is too much talent to waste
There is so much in me that I want you to see
I will never give up

Why squander all of my hard work and dedication
Why not show the world that I am a fearless baller
Why quit when I still have the opportunity to go on
I will never give up

If I do, I will not be the best me that could live
If I do, I will never know what I am capable of
If I do, I am not giving the world all I can give
I will never give up

Freinds in real life

I think there has already been a topic on this. However ill throw my two penneth in. I have to say id love to meet people in my area from this website. Im in need of making new freinds and to have people who have been throguh the same as me would be great. I dont think its wierd meeting up with people from the internet although they obv need to be vetted first to make sure they arnt mental etc. Im very friendly, easy going,fun, and intelligent and non judgemental. Id love to meet some people. I live near Huddersfield yorkshire england Does anyone here know where that is?.

What do people miss most about girlfirends/boyfreinds?

Right now i have to say like a lot of people on here that I am a bit lonely and would love a girlfriend. I was thinking that alongside the physical contact which I love lol I miss things like conversation with a girl, the feeling of excitement you get before you go on an evening out together, The feeling of pride walking down the street holding hands, thinking of someone other than myself all the time etc. What do you guys and girls who are single and have dated before miss most about dating aside form the obvious physical contact kissing/sex etc.
