If your in australia and want to make heaps of money take this advice " Do a 1 week traffic safety course, it's easy as fuck and all you have to do is basically stand there. If you get a job in Western Australia you will make $30-40 an hour starting and the work counts towards renewing your 417 visa

OK I'll post my story. 24, 6'1", 180, been going to a new gym (YMCA). Don't like it as much as my uni gym. Got friendzoned by a girl who was cheating on her bf with me; now that she's single she suddenly realized she doesn't want me anymore. I was in shock for days and felt like my heart was ripped out, but now a week later I'm laughing at how deluded I was and feel much better.
Nicholas Smith
Just got to make it to the end of tomorrow, then the end of summer, then the end of 2018, then the end of the 2010s, and one day you'll wake up and you'll have made it. You'll just realize it.
I see so many people who will never make it because they become complacent. I see so many people around me settling into a routine. I think normie complacency is even worse than these heavy feels. You know why? Here on this board we feel bad about ourselves sometimes because we KNOW we can do better. And that's the first step to actually improving oneself.
Today I left work and it wasn't dark outside for the first time in months (leaf fag here). And I felt a weight leave my shoulders. Just like the days slowly get longer as spring arrives, you're slowly gonna get better. I believe in you.
Christian Phillips
Fucking sucks right now.
Made some great strength/size gains at the end of the year and since then have failed going into a cut twice now because of failing discipline, holidays and being savior to the fucking white trash family.
Also picked up training a family member so my workouts are crazy interrupted now. Can't get good sets in, worrying about him going to do exercises he shouldn't be, or hurting himself with terrible form. Not to mention, trying to get gf out of stupid boot camp classes. The stupid mother fucker keeps complaining about her knees and foot pains but won't fucking stop jumping and doing half squats. Her muscle mass is deteriorating because she won't eat properly but at least she looks thin, right?
John Thompson
Gong good so far. Fighting depression that has kept me from the gym for two year. It made me lose all the progress i made in Uni but i'm back at the grind and getting into the gym routing again.
Come hell or high water but i'll make it

It's been a fucked up 2018 so far. I plan to unload my company as soon as it's more solid. Get back to the gym with a vengeance. Get back to doing some travel.
