Thanks and yes

mate just dance, its lag b'omer reb shimon is looking after you.

May G-D bless you

We know what you are going through 

Gutten Erev Shavuos, I will share with the chevra an excerpt from a poem I’ve written which I think conveys a lot of my journey as of late:

”Did you see a soul
When you looked into my eyes
Or perhaps my cup
Where I keep my lies

All the inner conflict
Pulling me within
Were you made uncomfortable 
When I let you in?

Or can you see the light
When light is only dim
When goblets overflow
Will you sink or swim

Together- through an ocean
Where the light is dim
Do you trust the strength
You have found within

If you come in peace
If you come in love
Show me what you have
Received from up above

Hope and understanding
Empathy and Name
Please do enter carefuly
I Am Not A Game

You opened the window
Windows to my soul
Do you come in peace
Or just to make a hole?”

Doing well Baruch HaShem.
And I’m also 2 days clean Baruch Hashem.

Have a gn,

YeshivaGuy

Was bout to be nichshal but masterbated instead of watching though saw a second.

Will take as a win and will try not to feel terrible going into tomorrow.

• Was doing very well in every way.
• Accepted Head Camp Counselor job.
• Director wasn’t happy I had no WhatsApp (kosher phone).
• So in the last week I switched back and has been disaster even with filter.
• Just messaged my Co Head to let him know I can only do this job if he’s ok with me not having smartphone/WhatsApp cuz I’ve been dying in Shmiras Eynayim and whether it’s cuz I’m a parutz or a tzadik so bigger taiva doesn’t matter. L’maaseh I won’t have it and he needs to be ok with that or I’m quitting.
• Will see response in the AM. He’s a good friend, won’t be a prob just will be a shlep and Director will be upset but who cares.

• Also, I will be calling someone to turn down an offer to make a substantial amount of money (obscene given the minuscule amount of hours) this coming year  because I thinkKNOW it’s bad for my Avodas Hashem.
• Many people, in my family, connections, and some who I look up to, say I should do it and will be upset with me but I’m making the right decision. I know I’m being very vague and ambiguous and it’s on purpose.

It’s very easy, sweet, and nice to say you care about things like Torah Learning, Kedusha, etc.
It’s heart warming to go on some anonymous website, get Thank You’s and exchange nice words.
But you gotta actually look yourself in the mirror and sacrifice.
Be laughed at and mocked for that which you claim to care so much about.
Stop compromising on who you wanna be, who you’d like to be, because of societies demented pressures, expectations, and whims.
Stop crying like a baby about how hard change is and get it done.
No. Matter. The. Cost. 

And with that, at this late hour, having sinned so much these last few days, I wish you a good night.

YeshivaGuy
And That Will Always Be My Name.

This heroic post should be sent to every camp director and everyone else in staff hiring positions. You BH had the gevura to stick to your guns. How many guys are going to capitulate and cry into their pillows every night this summer?! In the zchus of your putting yourself out like that, may Hashem answer your many tefillos!

Incredible, no other words.

Great choices

When I first got married I turned down a job with about 150k salary at an e-commerce company selling women’s clothes (not the top layers). Was a great choice.

Now own  my business and still don’t use WhatsApp even for business. You’ll be a better worker without it. 

Consider the following
smart person - stupid phone
 stupid person - smart phone

 we tend to complicate things too much. Speaking from experience. 

Yeshiva Guy, you are the definition of a true fighter!
