Most of the jobs I got in life had little to do with my education,
so I can understand Charles' position on this. At his age, 32,
I worked in a record store (natch) - and got the job just out
of sheer enthusiasm and confidence about abilities. Yeah, it's
a minor job, but you meet people and things grow from there.
I could see Charles, for instance, going into his favorite comic
book store and being hired - or some such place that he likes.

If only my local comic book shop hadn't closed. I considered applying but then the unthinkable happened.

Charles, I know it's probably not a popular opinion, and you probably don't want to hear it, but you need to quit medicating yourself in order to find out who you are and what you really want out of life. Give your brain and body a rest from the destruction and disillusionment weed and alcohol brings, and not just a few days or weeks, I'm talking about a year or two. Give the real Charles a chance.

I know the booze is self-destruction. I just don't know how to not be self-destructive. I've been self-destructive my whole life tbh. Being constructive feels alien.

Understandable. I was a problem child myself, well into my 30's. I just wanted to give you some honest advise.

You can do it if you want to.
