So I'm moving out...

move in with a white bro as a demonstration of your desire to be a new person. Or if not then a rich Guy so your bills will get paid

I wasn't ignoring you, you made me think...

Congratulations on your move to the next phase. I'm probably not qualified to give advice,but you asked, so here goes, in no particular order:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Be "the quiet one".

>Wait to make babies until you're 30.

>Get as much schooling as you can afford, or tolerate. (You can tolerate more than you think).

>Listen. Closely. to Yourself. You may not realize it, but you already know everything you need to know to survive and thrive in this world.

>Practice sorting through the "blah-blah" noise of the world. Most of it is bull, sometimes surrounding simple truths; search for those truths.

>Anticipate, and plan for, hard times. They will come. They come to teach you something, so pay attention. You'll get through.

>Be slow to give your word. When you give your word, stick to it forever. Realize that many men won't/can't do this, so be wary but not cynical.

>Don't hate people; it wastes your time and darkens your soul unnecessarily. Go around (and be amused by) blowhards in your path.

>Keep physically fit, even when you're busy. Learn to swim well.

>Set aside 15 minutes (I do it at sundown) every day to think of absolutely nothing.

>When you despair, remind yourself that you're 'building' the man you are; all the joys, and troubles, and adventures and boredoms are there to make you the perfect, seasoned, man you are meant to be. You'll need all that experience: the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, in the next phase.

>Always carry something to write with. It's too easy to forget stuff.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
That's about it. Anything more would just be details you can and should sort out for yourself.

I'm moving out as well. I love you, Kukri. That's some great advice.

Some good advice here. Kukri, you should be sitting on a mountain top somewhere dispensing wisdom to those who seek you out.

When I first started work I offset the amount of money my mum lost as a result from reduced payments from my wages, it meant that I didn't earn much more than I had from my paper round but I never lost either, and, it's my mum. 12 months later we were both up, I also paid for the phone when my wages went up, back when a phone wasn't the norm.

In all, drink only as much as you can confortably afford, don't forget your mum and don't run up more debt .

I didn't avoid the last one and it cost me dearly, also, if you get involved with a girl make sure everything is agreed in writing before you sign any agreement.

But ... he is. It's just a virtual mountain.

Thanks Kk.

You already got some excellent advice (

), so I don't have much to say. I think the OP makes it clear that you're already going from boy to man, so now is probably the right time to take this step.

Best of luck, Megas, just let go of that hatred and replace it with self respect and self esteem and I'm sure you'll do just fine, with ups and downs like all of us.

Just don't be a stranger and try to visit us once in a while, if only to tell us you're doing ok.
