My mentor is the iron. It has been my only constant companion since high school. I have had friends and family come and go through my life,I have jumped from girl to girl in a never ending search for the perfect relationship, I have had so many jobs my resume looks like a set of encyclopedias, but since I was in 10 grade I have ALWAYS gotten to the gym to work out everyday. Iron and weights dont lie, they dont go on head trips , they dont judge , they just are. Working with the iron will give you a great perspective because after the 100th girl has told you that "Your the only one" and then left you for someone else, you can go to the gym and know that 200 lbs will ALWAYS be 200lbs. After you work out for a while your body will change and no one can take that from you. You dont have to apologize or worrie about what a set of weights thinks about you. You can truly be yourself and just lift and growl and sweat. Going to they gym has cured me of depression,anxiety,envy,trash talking,fear, and a few other mental defects. The Iron has been my best and only friend for so long that it is the only thing I can honestly name as my mentor.
Are you a Henry Rollins fan by any chance? He pretty much says the exact same thing in one of his interviews [img]smile.gif[/img] And it's true, sometimes it's best to keep your mind on a task/goal rather than a person... sometimes.
