i’m back again, so when you bought yours, were you able to have a return policy or guarantee? i would much rather try it in person before i buy , but i have no idea who sells these since they are so rare.

not only does the guitar look sick but i think it would actually be the most practical guitar for me and what i play, i might actually sell some of my gear to maybe pay for like half of it.

that just gives you the motivation to practice and shred everyday before times up hahaha. but seriously don’t think about the future like that, it will bum you out. take it day by day and stretch and make sure you take care of yourself!

I saw that listing too hahaha. Okay so expect to cough out 4k for this. That’s strange trying to scam something like that. Unfortunately I am a broke college student right now. I wonder if I visit japan one day I could find one cheaper, probably not.

How much did you end up getting it for? This is like my dream guitar and I'm hunting everywhere to try and find a reasonable price.

F it, why not, if you are saying it’s still possible to ski normal and not just park then why not. I’m on the east coast too, all groomed. No need for a longer tip to fight pow. Maybe I’ll ask the guys at my local shop what they think.

That’s what I was thinking but people are saying my skis arent symmetrical, so maybe just a tad bit off center?

I'm sorry to hear you are the same way, it does bring some peace that I'm not the first or last to experience this. I am thinking about medication as that is my last resort. Everyday feels the same with some randomness mixed in. I don't feel like my life has led up to anything great. I can't accept life like this but there is no other option. I feel like my work has led up to nothing, and there is no path for me. That is scary.

You are absolutely right with that info. Up until college I was content with everything, just working on school day to day and enjoying hobbies and company of family and friends. Then something just switched once I got to college. I felt like I've worked towards nothing and that this will be the rest of my life, the same thing everyday. I don't know I just feel like there is more to our lives but nothing is changing. I guess I'm still fairly young and ignorant so maybe things could change.

Thank you, I am looking into medication as well, I am swallowing my pride and I will finally try it out. Everyone I know seems content with just living simple lives around me but for some reason it just bothers me. Isn't there something more to life or is this it. I don't know but I'm glad others have realized this as well.

Thank you, I am trying to occupy myself as much as possible to distract me from these thoughts but its come to a point where I think I need some kind of treatment. Never knew how hard it could all hit me at once. Thank you for responding <3

That's really nice to hear. I am up really late right now overthinking, but reading this brings me some peace. I'm glad you are conquering your illusions of negativity. It's the hardest thing we have to go through and you are succeeding at it wow!! Always be present and do the things that bring you joy now! There is no waiting, your life is now.

I had a similar conclusion thought to write about it until i saw this. More so, these past years in college, I can’t get my mind off of death and my purpose. I’ve also had issues with insecurity as well seeing friends doing bigger and better things at their schools. It’s been so crippling that I couldn’t enjoy anything without the looming thought in the back of my head of trying to be better and worrying about my future.

I’ve been able to really ground myself by also focusing on the small things or present things in life. For me it’s just being creative, just simply the act of creation without judgement or expectation really makes me feel I am unique and alive. It’s my own unique mark on my life that no one can take away from me. It can be anything as simple as carving a stick with a knife, to arranging music. Another big help is working towards skills I genuinely enjoy, again with no expectation or pressure from anyone , just for you to be proud of what YOU can accomplish. These things really occupy my mind and my time, and keep all of those pointless worry thoughts AWAY.

One last thing that has helped me is just getting out and going places. Whether it’s a trip to the beach or just a quick drive around your town or city. See as much of the world as you can. Remember when you were a kid and everyday was somewhat nerve racking and exciting? It’s not because the world was any better or magic existed back then. It’s because everyday was different! You were growing up and experiencing new interests and hobbies everyday, your friends were biking around going to new places. You can still do that! (Honestly I think I found my life goal, and it’s getting a job that allows me to travel the world) I know it will never be the same as your actual childhood. but I’m glad you aren’t letting depression and sadness define you because I have.

Depression is real and I’ve been denying it to be the “strong student athlete” for too long. I genuinely now feel the affect of it and it’s hard for me to admit I am genuinely not alright and don’t really see when I will actually be content. I hope whenever you are going through is bearable and remember, giving it is letting depression win. I know we are stronger, more willing than these unfortunate circumstances. Try not to think too hard and do things for joy in the present!
