I mean it's a long shot but I would pursue it if it means that much to you

When I was in my early 20s I read bukowski and wanted to be a writer like him but I didn't want to suffer the kind of lifestyle he did so eventually I abandoned it and tried to go for something more practical. I ended up not being a writer but I still suffered the same lifestyle anyway.

If you find something else other than what you had planned at the end of the tunnel, then you adapt. You'll still probably be better off than just meandering stagnantly in dead end jobs.

And whenever some one says it as a pejorative it comes across like class guilt to me... Like privileged people guilty about their own privilege... Cause poor people generally don't actually talk like that. Like Bat said, blacks say bougie.

I know being a poor person your whole life you probably don't know but the bourgeois are pretty stale and lame.

Most people who go in debt for college at this point have to know their degree will never pay off. They’re trading their future to have a youth worth living. Everyone knows that once you start working full time you’re no longer living an existence worth carrying on with but your DNA makes you. I don’t blame kids for going $80,000 under for their history or journalism or whatever degrees. One year being 20 is worth thirty years of being 50. A large income isn’t even an escape unless it’s large enough to allow you to not have to work at all. You can make $300,000 a year but if you work 48 weeks a year it’s still a life of misery. And for most people it’s just work work work almost all the time. They don’t read books. They come home exhausted and then do stupid chores. Once people hit 40 and especially 50 they’ve often lost battles to alcohol or other drugs and more and more people overdose, blow their brains out, abuse their children, treat people like ****, suicide by cop or if you’re lucky retire at 65 when your bones are already brittle, sex sucks, and you’re weak af. So of course any reasonable person is going to live life in their twenties when the living is good. You’re trading in a worthless future anyway.

If I'm suiciding by cop then Imma make sure it's SWAT. I don't trust those other donut eating fatbacks to shoot straight. Probably just take out one of my nuts.

bro I'm white. I have a large extended family. I think I'm aware that middle class/rich people are boring in general.

The Batlord · 10-11-2019, 06:20 PM

Does that extended family bother with your or your parents?
