I just ran into someone who I went to school with (~3 years younger than me), whose family I used to know…
They’re very rich (definitely 1%ers), and extremely degenerate…
Her brother is now a tranny. Her father is an androgynous weirdo, and both of her parents are constantly high on designer drugs, every time I run into them (usually at concerts or music festivals, being obnoxious).
This girl… Tells me she has just bought a house. In one of the most expensive houses in my hometown. We’re talking $2M+, average…
So I ask her what she is doing.
“Oh, I’m a professional content creator now. I specialize in TikTok.”
This girl is ugly as fuck, overweight, and probably autistic (think Luna from Harry Potter, but uglier and less endearing). She’s also half-Asian.
I saw a program last night of another TikTok “content creator” in Ireland who was doing up a family mansion, for a few million…
How the fuck is this where we’re at, as a society?
Sure, “bank of Mum and Dad” and all that, but fuck…
Just makes me more depressed and frustrated, tbh…
What exactly makes you think she paid this with money she has earned?
Also: Don't go chasing the grass on the other side. It's most certainly not as green as you think and it prevents you from focusing on bettering yourself.
It’s not so much that I want what she has, but it makes it nearly impossible to even converse with these people, when by comparison, I not only have nothing, but I’ve achieved nothing…
I’ve just been on a plane flight where I happened to be sat next to the family of someone who I haven’t seen in years…
Turns out, she’s done comparatively very well for herself, despite essentially the same background as me. And then, oh, waddaya know, so have her friends… 🤷🏻♂️
Meanwhile, I’m just barely getting by. Barely scraping an existence.
It… It makes it very hard to “keep on”, when nearly every conversation IRL goes like this…
I get that. At least somewhat. Nevertheless the mindset is self-defeating, no?
You haven't achieved anything? So what. Start today. The only important judge of your achievements is yourself. And you can choose: Do you beat yourself down for not living up to your expectations, or do you lift yourself up and cheer to make it better the next time. And I do not mean that you shouldn't be critical of yourself, it's important to know what mistakes one made to do it better the next time.
The things you CAN and in my opinion should beat yourself up over are basically the seven deadly sins. And I say that as someone that isn't overly religious.
