After a lot of game, events in my life, and just life in general, I feel like shit.
I need some soul-searching and I wouldn't mind doing it in the form of driving along the coast for a weekend and camping on the beach.
The only thing to do now is to have a list of questions or things I should do whilst out there by myself. I'd want some time to really think about what I want from life and all.
Can anyone contribute to what they do if they want to gather their thoughts? Any questions I should be asking myself?
Every man worth a damn who walked on this Earth had crises similar to yours.
First thing I’d like to say is that you do not fret. What you are experiencing is perfectly normal and will experience again. I guess it’s your own body and spirit telling you, in a natural way, that it’s time to recalibrate, which men can only do alone.
Some do it in the mountains, others by the sea… it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you take time for yourself in order to explore yourself. To reach your innermost sacred chambers.
In the last two years there have been a couple of times where I’ve felt a bit ‘unhinged’. I did not feel compatible with the world around me. Like there was some sort of cold metal grating on my soul and mind which caused considerate discomfort.
At first I didn’t know what to do, to be honest. Then I simply decided to ‘plug out’. I shut down all of my electronic devices and sat alone in my room with the windows open. Cold air breezed through me and I thought the same as you. At first I didn’t have questions. Everything was dark. Then the questions and images came from alone. I think they come. They always do. The problem is that we do not take enough time for ourselves to be alone in order for them to emerge from the depths of our souls.
Two books I’d recommend to read because they’ve helped me.
King, Warrior, Magician and Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine
Gorilla Mindset: How to Control Your Thoughts and Emotions to Live life on Your Terms
They are short reads. Combined 400 pages, which should take you a couple of days at most.
The first one deals about the questions of masculinity from a Jungian perspective and argues the problems men and their souls face today. The second one describes the best way to live with a positive mental attitude which will enable you to find your goals and reach them (but if you are already familiar with the Manosphere then the works of Mike should not be a stranger to you).
God bless and Godspeed brother.

be for us, who
can be against us?'
