Just realized I been paying rent since moving out

Looks like I will continue to do so indefinitely. It will also get more expensive. Will I even actually get to own a place without having to pay for it? Reality be wildin. How can we escape this existential crisis?

I’m finally going to put down some boundaries for my workplace today, and it’s long awaited

I've been lying on my UI forms and just reading books while claiming to be looking for work. The books are on customer service and how to start your own business. But the capital it takes is just more than I have in savings.

But he has no student loan debt weighing him down, and a BA degree from a party college. He has never paid a single employee more than minimum wage and still went bankrupt FOUR FUCKING TIMES!!!! But, there he is on my FB, posting about his new…
