I took the advice of the coli...humbled myself...and just moved back temporarily to save up some money...

I'll be honest. From being in college for as long as I was (It took 10 years between transferring 3 schools to get 1 degree), and was barely working in between cause I couldn't find work in Pittsburgh and my parents supported me financially, I just had a little idea of what I needed to survive in the workplace and how to get on/in it.

I graduated 2 years ago...and was just livin life when I moved to NYC...I had no real plan...odd jobs here and there...trying to live my dreams...and figured after a while that I needed to get myself right financially before anything.

I'll admit...I didn't know jackshyt about the real world and at 30 it's embarassing to admit...but I've lived a unique life and I'm not feeling sorry for myself or want others to feel sorry for me.

So, I'm just taking a break...working here...saving up my money...and headed back to the city in January mainly because I got to do my own thing.

The coli and my own internet addiction in retrospect was my achilles heel.

I'm also back here for the time being cause I needed to seperate myself from any distractions. Alcohol, drugs, women, cigarettes, etc.

I want to get back to hitting the gym, taking yoga & kickboxing, and I'm just saying f*ck it and doing the celibacy/abstinence ting. It sounds lame but I know when I get back to New York in January I'll be a much better person.

Having to steal toilet paper from the school toilets

I wasn't gonna relive none of my pain, but that post just brought it out of me. nikkas don't know about not shytting for 2 days because you can't afford tissue and you can't steal a roll of tissue from school without everybody seeing you. Nothing worse than Monday night stomach rumblings, on some my check don't post til Thursday ass shyt

Yo...this a real thread.

I salute everyone here.

People would like to think that people are broke because of their own mistakes (victim blame)...but the struggle is real.
