Venmo - @SethMurphy8 #DifferentNotLess 🧩✡️ divorced and starting over at 42 and trying to crawl out of debt. Echoes of Mae, published on Amazon. buy my book
I wrote my first book and now I need help pushing it to the masses. This story is fictional, but based on my life events. Loss of a child, suicide, grief, addiction and overcoming. Please let’s share this with everyone. @simonsquibb#mentalhealth

We’ve reached a point where simply living with dignity feels out of reach for millions of Americans.
Nobody is begging for a private island or a seven-figure lifestyle.
People just want to pay for food without doing mental math at the checkout line.
They want housing that doesn’t swallow 60% of their income.
They want healthcare that doesn’t come with years of debt.
They want enough free time to watch their kids grow up instead of recovering from exhaustion.
These aren’t extravagant dreams.
They’re the foundation of a stable society.
The fact that they’re now treated as unrealistic says everything about the direction the country is heading.
Autistic burnout hits different.
One day you’re fine. Next day words are gone, sounds feel like knives, and your favorite shirt suddenly feels like it’s made of knives too.
People tell you to just rest like I haven’t been resting for a week and my brain is still buffering.
My nervous system going "we’re clocking out of society for a bit."
Weighed myself tonight. 219 lbs. just over a year ago I was 250. I actually don’t know the last time I weighed under 220, 2012 maybe. It’s not a big win, but while going through one of the worst times in my life I’ll take it.
If your parents made 40k in the 1990s, you’d need to make 170k to have the same lifestyle in 2026
So 170k is the new 40k
This should absolutely shock you
Nothing will make you feel even worse about yourself when down, than getting zero likes or swipes on dating apps. Absolutely zero attention, no responses to messages sent. Absolutely a ghost. Can’t feel much worse about myself. And still alone.
@brynnreaper_ Don’t silence yourself for someone else’s comfort. Be your true, honest self and if they can’t appreciate it fuck em. I know easier said than done but never deny yourself being the best version of yourself for anyone.
@simonsquibb My dream is financial freedom for me and my family. I’m recently divorced but want to provide for everyone still. I have an Etsy shop that doesn’t sell, a book that’s not selling. I want that 2nd income from work to support me. I love designing for Etsy but no one buys 🔗 in bio
