to put that in perspective, 6k USD is about 65% of the average yearly income in my neighbourhood

imagine living in reality where one wouldn't want to buy an uncomfortable-looking novelty couch no matter their income

I get your whole shtick of this persona as wastrel rascal, too cool and misunderstood by this world. thing is though it's really not funny to anyone but you

you have a kid. my father was a deeply imperfect person (he used to joke about serving as a bad example and rightfully so) but one of the many gifts he gave me was a work ethic. do ish that means something, put effort into it. when you're lucky enough to do meaningful work, put in every ounce of heart and soul

even if just a paycheck at times as a means to an end, live up to your responsibilities and be proud knowing when you rest down your head you've given it your all not for the job but for everything that comes attached in moving you forward. if you stumble (we're all human) you pick yourself up, dust off your knees and keep going

he also taught me to expect that from others. have no patience for victims who make a full time job of excuses not to work

I'm so grateful for those lessons. sad that with your own child you've chosen to be unable to teach them


you could change all this tomorrow, hell, tonight if you wanted. put down the bottle for good. make a plan, no excuses. decide to be someone I'd hope you want to be. you can do this if you choose to


the whole 'baller' thing I'm so not behind, but the rest of this vid kinda sums it up





and that is a really uncomfortable looking couch. for 6k when you have no income. heart bleeds for ya

hope you re-engage with the real world in some meaningful way at some point. this persona you've adopted is really toxic and serves no one. find it sad
