About this user
My name is Chris.
A little while ago I started getting this feeling that something wasn't quite right. I couldn't quite put my finger on it though.
I used to be stuck in a 9-5 office job working for a finance company. Two years ago I got out. Now I live and work in the country in outdoor sports. I escaped the rat race =) I'm doing something I would quite happily do without being paid, and I love it.
A good friend of mine lost his best friend in Afghanistan a short time ago. Before this happened, I wanted to join the army. Sure I had heard of soldiers dying over there before, but it only seemed a reality when it happened to someone closely connected to my life. The pointlessness of it all! Killing and dying, for what? This experience and the thoughts it caused were a turning point in my life.
I just recently woke up to what it was that I escaped from. A few people on YouTube helped me with this. I'd like to thank Charlie (cveitch), Danny (spiritualentertainer) and TheAntiTerrorist, your videos have been a great inspiration to me. Their videos and shenanigans showed me the bad that has been troubling me, but they also showed me that there are many people out there who feel the same way.
I was feeling depressed with the world. I had escaped, but all the crap still existed. There are people out there who are doing things to change it, and I admire and love all those people. You all fill me with hope and happiness. The thing is, yeah I'm ok, I'm happy with my life and I could shut everything else out and continue with my existence, but something inside wont let me. I feel I cant just stand by while good people are being crapped on from on high. I want to do something about it all. Im just trying to identify what that something is.
Youre beautiful, dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Live, love, laugh, nothing else matters.
All my love.
Chris xx
