Not tryna sound bougie but you guys realize 100k after taxes in LA is like 5-6k a month. Go look at rent in a decent, safe neighborhood and extrapolate from there. Car payment, insurance, food etc. 100k isn’t some gold standard to live a nice life like it was 20 years ago.
Where u stand redefines your past. If the 100th attempt fails again, you're a loser who lost 100 times. If you score that swing, ur a stubborn believer who never gave up.
The fathers of winners are tough in hindsight. The fathers of losers, abusive.
The cheat code of life is leaning into what makes you, you.
To conform to societal standards is to rob the world of your unique impact.
Can’t wake up early?
Staying up later comes easier to you.
Use it.
Get bored easily?
You were meant for an eventful life.
Create one.
We constantly solve problems, only to replace them with new problems.
Take a second to reflect once in a while, don’t let your brain lull you into autopilot.
Be grateful for how far you’ve come.
Life is way too nuanced for generalized black and white statements.
But they resonate better with npcs, because it’s easier to digest than reality.
That most things, and people, are gray.
