Wow.
@DrX ignore this shyt. This isn't true at all. She's practical. You're not. It's like you said, "it's not better or worse it's just different."
I swear to god if anybody ever said this to me I'd walk away from them and never speak to them again. Tough love is one thing but that was fukking mean and uncalled for.
On my bike ride home today I was talking to a friend of mine and we were discussing how people often say we talk a lot. We do because everybody else is fukking boring because they played it safe.
It's easy to call me a failure. I dropped out of university. A very good one. People hate on me for that, but fukk them. I got into a university people would kill to go to. Of course they don't want to say that part.
I walked away from a lot of money and my dream life. I accomplished all my goals by 23 breh. People say I made a mistake by walking away. Again they won't acknowledge my WORK ETHIC.
I used to get upset now I view it like you. We're just different. No better or worse, just different.
You're right about material possessions and money. I'm not trying to hate but I doubt most the people hating on you know what's its like to not look at their checks or ever count their money. They don't know what it's like to not save money because their brain focuses on generating money not saving it.
I'll say this much. You will not get free without playing the game. I had to accept it myself. Please try to think about what practical decisions you can make to make sure you're safe in the future.
fukk success man. I've succeed in everything. Sports. School. Business. Romance. Trust me when I say the person I was when I decided to achieve those goals is not the same person who achieved those goals. People never say that shyt changes you. The journey changes you.
I miss the old me man. I'd give up everything I have to be that wide eyed kid who was in love with the world.
Now I just feel dirty.
