Mark Serene Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Greetings FDR Board Members, My name is Andrew. I have been engaged in the FDR podcasts for the past 5 months. I feel very anxious about participating in the forums, and in a deeper sense, I am afraid of feeling vulnerable. I have been gaining self-knowledge and it has led to a much more fulfilling relationship with my beautiful girlfriend and my self. I was spanked by my father when I was young. I got into a very tense argument with my parents about this atrocity a couple of months ago, and have started seeing a therapist since. I currently am avoiding seeing my parents so that I can gain the self-confidence to engage in a productive argument, at least on my end. I am 22 years old and work full-time as a butcher. I went to college for two and a half years, and dropped out on impulse to pursue my joy from drumming. This was before FDR. Now, I struggle to make long term professional goals that are more rooted in reality and my desire to help people find happiness. I love philosophy and communicating with others. I hope to start my own business one day which accepts Bitcoin. I am sorry for the rambling. I really want to be a productive member of this community and to meet lots of rational people. Thank you for reading, Andrew
Melesina Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Hi Andrew and welcome to the FDR community. There's also an FDR Meetup community in Huntington Beach. You can find out more at http://www.meetup.com/Freedomain-Radio/Huntington-Beach-CA/.
aleles Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Andrew, welcome! Butcher and drummer is a hardcore combination! It would be interesting to know if you tried to explore what led you to these occupations.
MysterionMuffles Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Thank you for your honesty about how you feel, and for your off the bat vulnerability. Welcome to FDR, hope you find what you're looking for. Sounds like you're on the right track already going to therapy and considering your future. Would you want to own your own butchery that accepts Bitcoin or a whole different business venture than that?
Mark Serene Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Is it weird that I didn't get any notifications about these replies? I guess I need to check the my content section more often. I appreciate the welcomes! I checked out the Huntington Beach Meetup page and its been inactive for a couple of years now so I started a Facebook page instead. The whole Butcher Shop thing was mainly to get a job and keep it for a year. It will be a year this February and I'll be ready to move on. I've been working in Sales on my days off which is challenging, but its something that interests me. I am trying to keep up with Bitcoin, but I feel like there is so much to read about that its a bit overwhelming. And I am drumming now only once a week with a friend who plays guitar as a fun hobby. Thanks guys!
