RE: I have no choice but to be poor, in debt, etc. People here are talking about how they spend $20,000+ on this like it's nothing. Makes me sick.
That means nothing to me. Metaphors are great on a paper for your grade 9 english teacher, but that's not gonna get me tens of thousands of dollars./change my life. I know you meant no harm, and you didn't cause any, I'm just saying for other people who see this. Thank you for taking the time to even just read my post.
Hey xavier1,
I am glad to have you here in the community and I am also grateful to have a community that accepts and supports me. I was born and raised near Memphis, Tennessee before moving west so I definitely know the realities of living under the poverty threshold, trust me. What I learned was that it was actually the people I chose to surround myself with and the decisions I had made up until this point was what were actually dragging me down. I realized nobody was going to come knocking on my door offering me a job I wanted, I had to go out into the world and seize it.
As I mention in my introduction post, it was only after battling a harsh drug addiction, finding clear goals and consistently waking up every morning, striving to be the best person I can was I then able to reach a level of success, albeit a small one. Anyways, all I am trying to say it stay positive fellow Steemer. Life wants good things to happen for you, I'm sure.
Cheers~
