Get Better

Have you ever had a moment in your life where you had something happen and it just changed your outlook on life? Not necessarily in a big way but in someone to change your points of view on the world. I recently had this experience with the song Get Better by Dan le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip. It gives the basic message not to change who you are but to improve who you are. Feel free to tell you experiences if you would like

Ba bo bey bo babbata ba bo bey bo-
 
Three semesters ago, I had a teacher whom I would describe with certain words which cannot be repeated in polite conversation. She was essentially your typical disagreeable female (again, words I cannot repeat), but she was a teacher, so I had a lot less liberty with the way I spoke to her. It got frustrating, and it got to the point where we would have childish arguments in the middle of class because she couldn't possibly fathom the possibility that she might be wrong, and her rhetoric might actually offend me.

For a while, I didn't know what to do. Then I just decided to adjust my attitude. Maybe it wasn't her, and it was actually me. It was just in her nature to behave this way, and talking down to her wouldn't change that. So, I began speaking much more politely, smiling more, and being borderline flirtatious (her being gorgeous didn't hurt this effort).

It worked like a miracle. We were practically best friends within a few weeks. By the end of the semester, we were quite close, and she remains one of the most memorable teachers I've ever had. Just by having an attitude that most people would simply deride and ignore, she actually taught me more than almost any other English teacher I've ever had.
 
I had a racist teacher in primary school, who kept bullying me as if I was a b****, and told me off for no reason at all sometimes, like fast-walking in the corridors or wearing my school hat in the cloakroom. She was the scariest when I forgot something. That made me frantic about remembering things and I panicked whenever I thought I had forgotten something. The problem still persists today. I need to remember everything not to get into trouble.
 
Working in my dad's office (he's a doctor, specializes in kidneys) taught me something. I was thinking about maybe becoming a doctor eventually. But dealing with hordes of ungrateful, rude old people who only come because their spouses make them or they want a refill of their meds made me realize that I will NEVER become a doctor. Ever.
 
Yes.

I bought a car.
 
So I'm rappelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I realize "Holy ****, Jhonny, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days, and couldn't some of this maybe be in your head?" And it was. I was totally fine. I've never even been to Mount Vesuvius.
 
Not me but when my g/f's 5 year old cousin was diagnosed with cancer she changed a bit. She started embracing my little kid side. Good news for those who care. Her cousin is 8 now and the last few scans thankfully appear to be clear.

Also When I went from the community college level to the University level I got smacked in the face with what learning really was. Came up with this quote that I've yet to see anywhere else. "Memorizing facts and definitions is easy, learning to think is hard".

Well, after I got sent to juvenile detention for something completely f*cking stupid, I never came back out the same. I got expelled from the school district for a year ( still on going now, almost over though :D ), probation, started smoking weed and drinking while on probation, (never got caught after 9 straight months of probation. Jelly?) the need to be homeschooled for the remainder of this year in a house which drives me insane, being betrayed by two close friends and a girl I was in love with for two years who played with my feelings...

I think 2010-2011 turned me into a cold, bitter person for life with little to no emotions except a couple of friends I still give a damn about. Lesson being, you can't trust anyone in this world.

Bad outlook on life, yes, but I don't give a damn.
 
If I had known being a single mom was going to cause me to go into a spiraling depression, and that a vast majority of men would look down upon this, I probably would have broken up with the guy that knocked me up. Had I known this... but anyways

I haven't had a date in 5 years, and you have no clue how horrible that makes me feel. The one guy that is interested in me has a gf, and I wouldn't do anything to sabotage someone else's relationship.

5 years ago I was happy, and now my outlook on life is quite negative, but it honestly has nothing to do with my daughter. I'm happy she's here, this isn't her fault. If he didn't have psychological problems, and if he was willing to be with me, I'd probably be 5x happier, and things just would be better.
 
... wtf i meant more of something that made you want to improve yourselfs because the thing gave you inspiration. i didnt mean negative things O.o

Masturbating with scented lotion.

That's the biggest change I ever made.

You only refuse to give a damn? Weak.

I don't give a ****. Beat that. Also, not a bad outlook on life. You should take up rap, or screamo music; your beliefs would give you really good material.

BTW, how does one lose their emotions?
