Re: Do you consider yourself the successful one amongst your friends

[saku]

this is kinda bothering me. by conventional measures, i'd probably be seen as very low on the success totem. it honestly really grated at me for awhile. i messed up academically; i survived a lot of abuse in childhood that changed the way i operate and i had a difficult time adhering to certain academic standards after elementary school. before then, i was fine, which is just the icing on the cake because i know things would be different if i'd had more fortitude during my darkest times. it's like messing up twofold and living with that for your whole life. that's me; i don't recommend it.

but it's whatever. me personally? i am slow, i know. i live slowly. i experience slowly. i open up slowly. my existence now is very gradual and careful, thanks to past trauma. some are like me; others are not. but one's likeness to me has no bearing on their own happiness, because as human beings we are all crafted differently, though of similar material. we are different, and like different things for ourselves. just as one's likeness to me has no bearing on their happiness, one's likeness to you has similar effects. it is not the path taken that makes the difference. it is not the scenery one prefers, or the pace one opts to walk, or the time one takes to slow down or even take pause at times, no matter the reason.

it is the direction that we should be content with. for me, though i may not always enjoy my path - let's say there are ~spiderwebs~ or bad weather sometimes, whatever dumb metaphor you want to use - i know it is leading me to a good place, and that all other paths have their own obstacles. nothing is freely easy, all the time. but the struggle to make it is worth it. everyone should keep their heads up.

this is hard. life is hard. nobody's path will not be without struggle. you don't have to walk theirs to end up where you're both already going. the same goes for them, regarding your path, or your own measures of success. so your friends may not have stable jobs, their credit reports may be bad, they may live paycheck to paycheck, they may not have college degrees, or good health, or lovers/spouses, or whatever you are considering "success." but i'm guessing if they're happy, they've been a hell of a lot more successful than you give them credit for.

Strident republican Saku is a poor?

Priceless. Completely, totally, priceless!

Finish the dream and tell me you live in a trailer, it would be such a perfect stereotype.

i'm not a republican, what

you know what i am though, i'm a struggling minority that's been fucked over by the institution and i am completely unsurprised to see that you, among many, revel in a misfortune that i share with millions of others
