And no worries, I have what I need. May not have my old life of luxury anymore, but I still have food, a roof over my head, my dog, and my truck. Among other things. So I’m good, I’ll recover.

That’s an inspiring story. Always nice to hear when bad times can still lead to success. Sorry you had the experience in the first place, but glad you made the best of it and overcame it in the end.

It is really weird though, that you can essentially get away with a lot by just pretending you’re wealthy. Just dress and shave like you are and speak with an “academically-enriched vernacular.” Also be white, I’m sure that helps. But anywho.

Thanks, I hope my meds kick in soon. I don’t want to make an ass of myself and ruin a good thing. Nerves and anxiety keep me up late and I get tired and say stupid shit sometimes but I don’t mean to.

I’m pretty unkillable it seems though so at least there’s that. Lost my uncle and mom to suicide and my dad to homicide, grandparents kicked me out as a teenager for being gay. Lol, I feel disconnected from poor people because I feel like so many of them use their victimhood as an excuse to be assholes, but I feel disconnected from the mainstream and such because they feel the opposite, overly insensitive, careless, and clueless about what it’s actually like in the real world.

In the end I’m no better than the most of us. I’m no hero and I’m not really successful by almost any measure of the word… But I’m alive still. I’m still doing my best to be positive. Donated evaporative cooling towels to the police force and the protesters both today cause I figured nobody is going to treat each other like a human being and listen to each other if they’re all too hot to focus on anything.

That’s rough. From what I’ve seen though, you do seem like a nice guy. It’s good to know your experiences didn’t make you permanently bitter or angry as it does so many people that go through similar circumstances.
