I'm feeling slightly thread happy because Steelers.

I made it out the hood, out the burbs, do as well as folks with degrees, and outdo many people in my field. I love myself but can't help but feel like some of this shyt came too easy. Despite the fact that I get what I'm owed, I feel guilty(sometimes) apropos of other nikkas struggling.

As a result? I find myself trying too hard to help people in tandem with being a full grown social pariah. I'm antisocial as hell. Most help comes off as condescending(percieved). Whether race, class, or otherwise... Do you deal with this, too? How?

I personally meditate once a week on causes and effects.

I'm not a success yet, and have my own issues. But I feel guilty leaving my homies who I've met as kids and as a young adult who didn't go to college and have kids now. I'm bout to graduate at 25.... took some years off college. When I wasn't in school, and we were all broke, they were always around.

Now it's hard to hang and here about the same money issues, BM issues, low pay issues, etc. or it's hard to deal with ppl asking for money. I'm not even successful yet and I can feel my life pulling away

Embrace ya new life. shyt sucks tho.. Because for every one that's proud, probably ten curse you..

And that asking for money shyt is too real. I get it from people that have kicked me out of their home. I'm nowhere near nice about it either.

Read a book called the kyballion. It explains cause and effect simply. When I meditate, i am as objective as possibly(goal). When you understand and recognize the simple reasons "why" shyt happens, make goals a reality becomes increasingly effortless.
Thanks for the rec. I'm more into philosophy but i've been trying to get my master sheng yen on and meditation can get confusing. You're supposed to focus on breathing, count, be empty etc. I'll check this out.

No prob.. I'm kinda past that so I pick principles. For me, emptiness is objectivity.
