2018-01-22 at 8:46 PM UTCNot really. I did grow up poor in the hood but no one ever really fucked with me. My dad was a broke ass gambler. We never had hot water in the winter or AC in the summer, just shit like that.
And after I grew up, I worked pretty hard to not have to live a hard life. -

I get why you don't want to see her. My parents are dead, and I don't regret not being there. Screw 'em.
yeah, i guess he was the favorite. afaik he was treated, well at least not as bad as i was.

Don't you feel like a caged animal sometimes? What are your relationships like?

This sort of Nietzschean shit isn't true. The hottest fire forges the best steel, but all it does is damage people. People need constant education, support, and encouragement to get anywhere. -
2018-01-23 at 3:40 AM UTCFuck no. Should've listened to my dad on the whole 'big tittied whores wanting your money' bit though.

Originally posted by mmQ By most standards I'd say yes, but I accept responsibility for it being that way as opposed to a hard life due to a series of unfortunate events outside of one's control.
Two inpatient treatment programs consisting of a total time of 22 months.
Drug court outpatient treatment lasting a year, 3 times a week, bi-weekly court appearances and monthly probation meetings.
3 other court-ordered outpatient treatment programs consisting of a total time of 8 months.
At least ten periods of jail/prison incarceration consisting of a total time of 12 months.
3 court-ordered halfway house stays consisting of a total time of 14 months.
Off and on probation from age 17-28, with several violations.
At least $5,000 in fines and court costs.
Multiple DUIs resulting in incarceration and/or treatment, as well as loss of driving priveleged. From age 16 until now I've probably had a valid driver's license 35 or 40% of the time.
5 felonies ranging from burglary to possession of a stolen vehicle.
Probably at least 15 arrests and misdemeanor charges ranging from driving under suspension to simple assault.
Loss of my dad when I was 22 due to hep-c, liver and kidney failure.
Ongoing major depressive disorder diagnosed at age 25 though certainly started earlier than that.
A very habitual personality resulting in several addictions, mainly cigarettes and drinking, costing me god knows how much money and time over the last 15 years.
The accumulation of the aforementioned things inhibiting my desire and ability to pursue a professional career, save any real significant amount of money, or have more/better/stronger relationships with family and friends.
Pretty sure Chootie has cancer or some shit.
Shrimp Creole, shrimp soup, shrimp salad, and well, tha-, that's about i-it.
To be fair, I've had a plenty of intermittent wonderful times and experiences in my life as well, but the consequences of my actions have drastically affected the potential I had to do much more with my life up to this point.
Relatively speaking I'm doing alright these days for what it's worth. Finally saving a little money beyond a paycheck to paycheck lifestyle, making $15+ an hour at a nearby job I usually have fun working at, soon to reobtain my driver's license which will drastically help to open up possibilities and my pursuit of schooling or non-hospitality occupations that pay well and I have a passion for.
Anyway..
2long did not Reed: I've wasted most of my adult life being a miserable piece of shit because of crime, addiction, and depression, but things are looking up for the most part.
I also like brief walks in my parking lot, romantic getaways to cemeteries and crack dens, and exploring nature and the outdoors on YouTube videos while laying in my dark bedroom.
The End
What kind of job? -

Cooking at a Cajun Restaurant. I'm not the type that claims to be a chef or sous chef or anything. I cook. I prep. I do dishes. I work hard and I work efficiently. The only superior status to 'cook' that I can claim is that outside of the Owner, who's also the manager, I am next in charge in terms of the chain of command so to speak. Like somewhere between lead supervisor and assistant manager. -

2018-01-23 at 5 AM UTCAutistic, minority, poor. I was born with life on hard mode. I’ll never forgive my parents for forcing me into existence.

Ha, you’re exactly the kind of person that’s far more likely to call themselves a Marxist. -

Yeah, right. Government aid to coast you along in a first world country. So hard. -
2018-01-23 at 5:06 AM UTCI’m in a constant state of mild suffering.
