@givenup @magicalthinking @RayGun @BowsacNoodle I ain't telling you to not do that, if it works it works, but you've set an artificial ceiling for yourself.
You will never achieve more than a certain threshold in life.
Like, fuck it dog, grind.
I used to be on food stamps. Making fucking rice o roni from scratch because I FOUND spaghetti in my house.
And about ten years later I've interviewed upwards into a gig that pays me very well and it doesn't feel like a "grind".
