Hey guys, I'm going to be taking a break from geekhack and artisans and everything mechanical keyboard related for a while.

I've been fooling myself thinking that making friends and interacting on this forum, buying new keyboards, chasing after girls, buying random new things, and scrounging for sought-after artisans would make me happy.

However this is not the case. I've been unhappy with my life for quite a while now, and i know i'm just a kid and everythings going to get better but it's still a god awful feeling.

It's like I get attached to thing so easily, and it's definitely not happy. I trick myself everytime that this is the one thing I need and after I obtain it everythings going to get better in my life and all will be well.

With this mindset, i'm just setting myself up for disaster.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm going to be getting my **** together and focusing on school for a while. I'm going to be tying up some loose ends like figuring out how the **** to ship out my secret santa gift and then i'm out for a while.

I'll be back ready to make a positive impact on this community because i don't think i really achieved that this time 'round and hopefully by then i'll be happily enjoying my life

god i hope this is just a phase, **** sucks.

this isn't a sob story post, don't really want your pity, just letting everyone know why i'll be missing for a few. i'll still browse around once in a while. thanks y'all

Good luck. Hope you find what you're searching for.

Hey it's always good to get some perspective. At least you were able to recognize your situation, a lot of new people get sucked into this hobby and end up spending more time and/or money than they can afford to do. Take some time off to reflect and just get away from the hobby, geekhack will still be here if you decide to return. Best of luck

I hope people on GH have not contributed to your unhappiness.

Problems in life cannot be sorted by buying or getting lost in material things, as you have no doubt found out.

I hope you return soon with a fresh look on life. Good luck

Good luck. Things and people can help, but they never do anything but serve as temporary band-aids. You have to be happy with yourself before you can really be happy. Unfortunately, being happy with yourself is hard as ****. Hope you find a way to be happy and find your way back to us.

Good Luck Remenition, it was nice talking to you on GH. School is very important, I slacked some in high school and have been regretting it ever since.

jerue · « **Reply #11 on:** Wed, 16 December 2015, 00:10:07 »

I remember your first few posts...so excited to get that Realforce

Take all the time you need sir, and focus on you! Only after you are happy will things start to come full circle, finding what makes you you is the hard part. If you're gone for a very long time, best of luck with high school and your future endeavors.

I'll miss you too

if you wanna shoot the **** via chat just lemme know

Good luck, Remenition. Take some time off, and come back when you are ready.

Best of luck Remy, I know we only had a brief conversation (over on reddit I believe) and you were a top dude with great advice.

Hope you kick some serious goals and achieve everything you set out to do.

I definitely struggle with my own materialism in regards to this hobby and others, it's not a good feeling most of the time.

Andy over at keychatter shared a similar story that has reminded me of the truth and I'm trying really hard to keep what I'm actually using and get rid of the rest. https://www.keychatter.com/2015/11/29/andys-porch-an-auditory-journey/

Tim Ferris wisely advises in his book the 6hr Work Week to sit down and really think about what matters to you. What are you going to care about when you're on your death bed looking back? Design your life around those things that matter in the end. I highly recommend the first few chapters of that book as it's more about being intentional with your life than it is about working less and it has been really impactful for myself.

God bless and see you around.

Keyboards are a "small" thing, a secondary-level diversion in life.

Find a "big" thing such as one or more aspects of "the arts and sciences" that you can really sink your teeth into and find meaningful satisfaction there.

HoffmanMyster · « **Reply #19 on:** Wed, 16 December 2015, 07:46:15 »

Sorry to see you go, Rem.

You've been nothing but positive around here, and I'm thankful for the time you have spent with us.

I think I know where you're coming from though, and I respect the decision. Best of luck figuring things out, and we will welcome you back with open arms when you're ready to sink your wallet into keyboards again.

Best to do what you are doing and search to know yourself better. Good on you.

mobbo · « **Reply #24 on:** Wed, 16 December 2015, 10:23:25 »

Sad to see you leave us for now, but I'm happy you've come to this realization. It's something I've personally struggled with (and may still be a little). At the end of the day it's not the things you own, or the things you have, i'ts the things you are. For me, a small thing that helped immensely was to start being active. Maybe you already do this but I definitely found that being a healthy and active person made it much easier to just be happy, rather than look for something to fill that void.

Best of luck man, and I hope to see you soon.

apolotary · « **Reply #25 on:** Wed, 16 December 2015, 10:35:11 »

Good luck man, sometimes taking some time off and sorting your priorities is the best course of action.

I'm thinking of quitting myself for the very same reason, I feel like my hobby has grown into a legit addiction and brings nothing but frustration

I wish he wouldn't leave. At least post in the Des subforum!

i'll still be sticking around to post a pic of my secret santa gift, i'll definitely keep in touch with some though.
thanks for all the words of encouragement, they really mean a lot

See you around, once you return.

Wise words from one so young!

Please be sure to report back if you do find something better than diversion as I'm not convinced such a thing exists.

vivalarevolución · « **Reply #37 on:** Wed, 16 December 2015, 18:37:20 »

I have previously thought and experienced everything that you described. And I have flourished afterwards. I think you will, too.

Do you understand your personality and where it might on the spectrum of different psychology conditions? It helps to know for the purpose of self knowledge. When you start looking at psychological conditions and disorders, you might discover that we all can identify with some spectrum or disorder, and there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong with you. Things are how they are. You are how you are. Nothing is inherently right or wrong, including yourself. Acceptance of yourself, others, and the external world is the first step to identifying and creating an improved existence.

Now you are in a good state, because you know something is not satisfactory. You are identifying it, and taking steps to address the issue. That is more than most of us can say.

sircheddar · « **Reply #38 on:** Wed, 16 December 2015, 18:40:28 »

definitely sounds like you just need a break, hope you are able to come back with a different mindset so that you will better appreciate the journey, not just the finish line

You can call it a disorder.. But.. . if it's not directly detrimental to procreative potential, it's an acceptible genetic Mutation at worst..

Perhaps "disorder" is not the best word, but I can't think of another way of describing psychological states that does not have a negative connotation. Maybe I should simply say psychological states.

There will always be alterations which make best fit the current state of being..

But because each moment is unique, the fit is fundamentally as it should be..

And so, we then realize that our perceptive conscousness is mere audience to what really happens..

Sit back, -most importantly RELAX- , and enjoy the show.

Find out who you really are flaws and all and accept that **** and your life may not be meteoric (hell it might be wtf do I know) but once you can look in the mirror and truly see yourself and accept that image a lot will fall into place with you.

"This above all...to thine own self be true" I believe in this so much that is tattoed on my body.

Good luck Rem and I hope you find what your looking for

P.s. oh before I forget what are you going to do with that give up the ghost v2
