Man, what a bunch of doom and gloom in this topic. Ffs. Most of us live in the United States right? No one is promised a Mercedes and a milf but if you work hard, you can totally make it here. Dont you all have food and vehicles and the internet and smart phones? Video games and netflix, big tv's, a kickass animal friend, access to gyms and parks, malls and museums libraries, breweries dispensaries.... What the FUCK?
What dont you have that you want? Seriously tell me. Besides pussy maybe? That would cheer you up? Well pretty soon youll be able to buy that too, once we quit being wimps about sex, get it done Trump. Now
When was the last time you went hungry? Last year i was eating at a homeless shelter. And it was good as Fuck. In the rest of the world people are dying on the streets, starving, no clean water, being murdered and displaced by corrupt governments, blown up by religious extremists. And you think you got it bad??? Shut the fuck up! Id rather be homeless here than live somewhere else.
When i was growing up, we were so poor we used to go to this great burger stand called B Bops. And my mom would never, ever pay for cheese. She would take a cheese single we got from the poor grocery store and put it on a burger and that was a TREAT. To this day i will Not order a combo meal unless its a special occasion. You know why? Because i stay in my lane and i like it here. Kids used to make fun of us because we drove shitty vehicles. But i survived. And guess what? Now my parents are fucking loaded, we own our own ranch in one of the most beautiful states in the US and have everything we could ever want. And it feels so good because we Earned it.
Last year i was homeless too Catgirl Fondler. I didnt tell anyone. When i got out of jail i lived in my car for three months and worked two jobs. I washed my hair in the taco bell bathroom....... And it kicked fucking ass. I went to the library all the time to charge my phone and I did it all on my own because i didnt want to live with my parents. After I got settled in and got a raise, I quit one job and now i have my own apartment and i have rarely been so happy. In less than a year I did that. And I also am a felon and not particularly smart. Im good at talking and im scrappy, I dont give up, and thats about it. My job kicks ass and my boss is a mentor.
No wonder kids feel discouraged with wimps like us to look up to. Its our responsibility to inspire kids. And these sensitive teachers, I respect the hell out of what you do man, but if you cant see how great this country is you are Fucking Blind.
I agree with most of this. Hard work by itself wont make a perfect life, but you can achieve a lot by having goals and striving towards them.
Its not just the US that has a lot going for it. If you live in any developed nation, youre already ahead of the curve, when compared to the rest of the world. Maybe thats the problem- peoples perspective on what success means is warped. Its not a fair representation of what you do have or could have, if youre constantly comparing yourself to a millionaire or billionaire. Stop that. Figure out what you want and what it takes to get it, then do the work and network with the right people for the leverage you need. Also, dont sabotage yourself. Having a baby during or right after high school, for example, is most likely going to derail your plans.
