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…
I’m pretty dark rn, I won’t lie…
I’m probably not far off just… Giving up. Shit like this encounter just adds to it.
I don’t “blame the player”, but it really is beginning to feel like I’ve lost “the Game of Life”, so…
I’m not sure how much I have left to give.
My unsolicited advice is to not get caught up in comparing yourself to others, and to give up on the idea that others will lead lives that are acceptable to you. That letting go of "ideological control" is quite liberating. I think you should also meter your input of aggravating news and focus on things that satisfy you and give you some sense of fulfilment. Things you can control. There will always be a fight, but that doesn't mean you can't withdraw, focus on yourself and all the good things, regroup, then make your way back.
Yeah, it’s not so much me thinking what she does is “immoral”. More just pain that she can get all these things, like a house, that I may never have, despite working my arse off…
That’s reality, of course. It’s just frustrating.
I’m constantly reminded of how fucked my life is, in comparison to… Everyone I went to school with. Including those younger than me. Which… Is what really sucks, I guess.
But, someone has to lose out, at life, and I guess, at the moment, that’s me. 🤷🏻♂️
Been there, done that, still trying to get out of it. It sucks, but the only way to solve the issue is to figure out what you want, break it down into small parts, and go for it.
Though I will point out -
Women live life on easy mode despite what a fair number of them screech. Comparing yourself to them isn't a level playing field.
