Hey guys. I wanna first say thank you everybody on these forums for keeping me company during the days and nights. You guys were always here and willing to talk and I appreciate that more than you will ever know.
Now comes the hard part. I am selling my iPhone and leaving the modding/unlocking scene. I have developed an opssesion over this beautiful device and I can not control it. It seems I stay up till 12 and work on Everything iPhone or work on a new summerboard theme and it is something I can not get away from. I am constantly just looking at the home screen and just sliding the pages back and forth when I am bored. I am 14 and I have felt as if I have lost a lot from this phone. I have been getting bad grades and I feel that this obsession has lost me some of my friends. I spend days on eBay trying to get money off of this phone and I have relized that I am only a kid that doesn't need money for myself. I mean, I dont need to be a buisness man yet and I am okay with that. I just need to come home and work on my homework and go to the gym and get back in shape for football. People don't talk to me just to talk and see how I am doing anymore. They talk about if i can put apps on their iPhoneor iTouch. I am always willing to help....and yes i still have friends....but I am really distant from my old friends I used to do everything with. I miss my old life before the iPhone were I had a party every weekend and I had tones of friends and girls liked me and stuff. But ever since the iPhone it has gone downhill. Maybe it is not the phones fault. Maybe it is something totally different. But i need to make a lifestyle change to be who i want to be again. I need to find myself again and start over.
I love this site as some of u may be able to tell (look at my posts count). I wanted to be a mod here....but that is too big of a commitment for me. I would have to read every post (which is what i already do) and this site is growing to big for that. I hope all of you can understand what I am going through. Please don't say stuff like, "well just don't be as obsessed anymore." Cuz that is like telling a smoker not to smoke anymore and expcting him to just quit cold turkey. I can not help this addiction and I don't know why. I wish I could control it but i can't. I just wanna be normal John again with a normal teenager phone. I love this phone....but i love my life and friends more, and I need to let them all know that. It is unfortunate what has happened to me but i can blame nobody but myself. I could have stopped any time I wanted and nobody clicked the login in button for me. The youth years are to priceless to be wasted over a phone i won't have in 2 years, and two years could ruin a person.
Everybody here has supported me with everything i have done...and i hope you felt the support from me. If it was from Everything iPhone or just normal posting...everybody had given it attention and a smile that said, "good job fat x nub!" I want to thank all the admins like Sauger, Pirate, and DarkinShadow. I also want to thank Safinator and Omer....we were the first regulars on this site and I will miss you guys. I want to live a happier life by getting rid of one of the things that makes me the happiest. I know it sounds wierd but it is true. I am getting this phone tomorrow:
Unsupported Browser it is just a normal phone that texts and calls people...and thats all i need for now. Thank you everybody and you better believe that i will stop by every once in a while to check up on u guys.
God bless,
John
EDIT: the link to my new phone says unsupported link but it still works
