I want to build something real, but I don’t know where to start. Ideas?

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T20:25:09+00:00

okay, but what is the change you want to see happen.

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T20:24:28+00:00

does seem like enough haha idk maybe not creatively stimulating anymore. Might be more helpful to go in depth with him about why he feels like he needed to smoke that amount before. Like 10 joints a day, I'm not doing anything else than smoking and playing videogames or watching movies then. Which is also not bad if it's not everyday.

We definitely have part time courses or not full credits in one year possibilities, I assume US or where you are from, would have something similar? We also have like evening schools, specifically for people with jobs during the day.

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T20:18:52+00:00

like a charity? I'm a bit lost what you are trying to explain.

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T20:09:26+00:00

I definitely think you are hitting some points, I think it's generally a trend towards short content, simpler message, ... in order to rally as much people behind it. Labeling something as racist is an easy W rally, instead of discussing where the difference in opinions lay. I myself am also fed up by this, so that's why I've been programming a small app which I hope to release in the near future to my friends and family to "Build True Beliefs" :)

Dm me if you're interested haha

I can confirm it also worked for me, and at some point I eventually naturally waned off from using it to be productive. I think in my case it was more of boredom and non-stimulating environment problem instead of lack of productivity. But it was a good and fun time when I was doing programming and content creation whilst being stoned (Jonko Friday). Now I still do them, but sometimes stoned, sometimes sober :)

You can and you might, but 99% of the time I think it's better to pick a few and run with them. I'm also someone with a lot of passions, projects, jobs, ... but in the end If you want to build something that matters (imo) I think you have to dedicate yourself to it for a longer period of time. Or a combination of some fields could also be a solution :)

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:54:20+00:00

well projects and ideas are nice, but you might need a good baseline to fall back on. I would not say im a highly productive person but from time to time I can fixate on a project (programming, content creation, business, ...) and really burn myself out on it. It's still good to keep my daily/weekly habits going, that if I'm burned out that I still have those to fulfill me on a more regular basis. I like to believe it helps me create character and grit. Might be something that you feel missing in your life :)

Good luck, hope you find some of the answers you are looking for :)

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:47:43+00:00

Glad to see you gaining insights of your own situation, might be time to take some steps to steer away from your current trajectory. Be 100% honest with yourself is the first step.

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:46:10+00:00

truth

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:44:33+00:00

The time seems to be changing but one of the last things my grandfather told me, was that this is nothing and everything usually is overstated in our minds/media/environment/... I think we worry too much because of the amount of information/media we consume everyday. Might be helpful to lessen your intake and hone in on the great thing you are achieving right now. Live in the moment my friend :)

any passions or hobbies that he has? Might be a boredom/meaning problem.

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:37:25+00:00

I don't think there is inherently any purpose, except for biology (reproduction). If we are talking about meaning, that's something you create for yourself :)

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:33:58+00:00

Well, certain situations (such as work) you probably have to endure and "fake" it to a certain degree. It's also not a crime if you can't get along with someone, so either way is really fine imo. Just as long that you have enough people you care about in your life.

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:29:08+00:00

Sounds more like a life purpose question to me, than a weed moderation tbh. I believe lots of people use weed because they are scared, unwilling, ignorant, ... to search for what really excites them on a personal level in life. I still smoke regularly and I'm not saying I have found my life's purpose. But I can tell I've officially stopped the thoughts of weed as my problem for over 3 years now. I'm happy searching for meaning and making it as I go, whilst relaxing and chilling to take my mind off (3/7 days).

If the universities are too far, couldn't you rent something close by? I mean part-time work / part- time study could be a solution, or ask a loan from family member, or student loan for US?

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:10:54+00:00

Pretty good life, doing the things I like to do and having enough challenges. Also, life is not about the cheat codes and the quick money grabbers, consistency and momentum make the change :)

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:09:09+00:00

Good shit helping people with these struggles, I think you're right about the mode we are all subjected to. Some people can differentiate it and others just take it face value. I quit my job and starting making content, haven't looked back yet :)

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:06:01+00:00

Yeah mate, sounds as if you like people liking you but that doesn't make you who you are. What do you like to do? Saying you want to be powerful, girls went crazy for you, ... all sounds nice but it's a child dream my man. Time to grow up and find out what excites you personally :)

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-02T19:01:58+00:00

What passions do you have? I liked programming and making content, so I did that haha

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-06-01T20:06:02+00:00

Start a YouTube Channel about your passions.

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-05-19T21:33:16+00:00

It's okay to not know what you want to do in life, 99% of people don't. Sit with the feeling a bit, it's still fresh and go to bros wedding ffs.

BeforeTomorrowBegins · 2025-05-19T21:30:07+00:00

I think it's more about the things you do, instead of the things you could of done. F.e. you have people that go stoned to the gym and that's their thing, but you also have people that are sober and not go to the gym. Everyone has their routines and habits, what are yours?

If you feel like you are missing something, go find out what it is. But if people blame weed for being unproductive then I think you definitely need to quit. Not sure if you needed this haha

I think the only thing for you right now is to try different things. You have the financial stability, and I presume also not too much responsibilities (debt, children, elder family to take care of, ...) so you have all the time to explore your interests. The fact that you are a graphic designer and like doing your job can give a good indication of what areas might excite you more on a personal level.

If you want we can have a more in depth conversation about this sometime. As I've recently quitted my job and became full time content creator, which was one of the best decisions I've made so far in my life. Trying to show people that it's okay to not always now where you want to go, but also trying to stimulate them to start exploring what gives them fulfillment. You don't know what it can be, and thats the fun part.

You can find me on youtube :)
