If I never posted my links, no one would ever see what I'm writing. But when I post my links, I never get any commentary or feedback on it. At all. Kinda a weird place to be when you're aspiring to write. Kinda hard not to feel cursed when you see other people doing the same thing. Effortlessly.

I’ve been 60 for a month now.
In another time I’d likely be in a rocking chair, or dead.
I say…f**k that.
Don’t let anyone else’s expectations determine how you life goes.
If it’s important to you, keep at it…for yourself and your country.

I can respect that some ppl want to be freaky online in private, but if I can't see a profile pic of what you actually look like, I'm not gonna meet up, man. I played those dangerous games in my early 20s, and ended up meeting some very intimidating people. (which was STUPID) lucky to still be here.

I don't have a fucking dime. I regret going through collegiate strife to please family, because I wanted to go to art school anyway. I'm so sick of this. Can't work enough, write enough, or borrow enough to repay loans for an education that left me with anxiety & a shitty sleeping schedule.
