What is on my mind? Let's see...
The mind is a curious thing, isn't it? It is perceived to be separate from the brain, because the brain is just a physical organ.
Organs are interesting. Are they just fancy pianos with pipes?
Pipes are unique. People skate in them, smoke them, run water through them.
Water, is very interesting. It can take multiple forms, such as liquid, solids, and gas.
Gas is a very weird thing. We pay money to burn it, in our cars, and in our bodies.
Bodies are a magnificent complex structure. We have all of these systems inside us, and if one just goes slightly bad, it can ruin the whole thing.
Systems, especially video games systems, are fun! We can play a whole lot of different games, with people around the world!
Also, I'd just like to let you know, I do not have A...D... SQUIRREL!!!!

Yes, in the context of you need to invest a little more of yourself into yourself. "Selfish," per se, I would say no (semantics). Kind of a hackneyed example, but look at how Christ took a moment of alone time just before his arrest and torture. Being altruistic is great, but there are times you need to show some love to yourself, even if only to recharge and get back into serving others.
Have you been listening to more Beach Boys?

What else is on my mind....
JesusMyOnly is trying to get me to post more in the forums, and be more active in the community, so that's why you see me getting more and more into threads xD
Let's see what else... Starting a company is tough! Last year, I was hired for what I thought was my dream job. I was covering news for my favorite hobby, Sim Racing, and I got paid for it! I did that job for over ten months, and then I hit a crossroads:
My (former) boss wanted me to move 800 miles, at my expense, to work for him full time, to eventually "take over" for him. Hearing that was staggering. I'm only 21, and he wanted me to take the reigns of a company that had an audience of 100,000+ for the website, and that's not counting the YouTube channel!
However, praying about it, I found a lot of red flags with it. My boss had a reputation for being volatile, and his two previous co-hosts had left. He would not be willing to contractually lock me in as a salaried employee, yet he would want me to sign a non-compete clause. He also was saying that my job would largely be dependent on sales, which I had no experience in. He also said he'd expect me to pull 40+ hour weeks, for $2,000 a month. That's around $11 an hour. While that's a relatively decent pay, considering the implications of moving 3 states away, as well as the reputation it's not worth the risk.
So, I decided to turn down the "promotion", and then he was totally cold towards me until I resigned the following month. I decided to start my own site and YouTube channel, and I feel it's going well so far. However, boy! It's tough to promote
Hopefully, God Willing, things will work out, in his due time.

I found the perfect article for some people. They should put it in the signature space or something.
