While some of you likely feel invincible currently, top of your game, making more money than you thought you’d ever make Others are also at rock bottom, so far down the only thing they see and feel is bedrock But let me tell you something I don’t know much about this life we’re living, i am not even particularly smart or wise for that matter But I do know one thing for certain : Winning Losing None of it matters That’s for the little people We somehow convinced ourselves that it did and went with it causing far more harm than good I’ve lived while making 6 figures a month, but I’ve also lived while making less than the total of the monthly bills And you know what? Nothing that mattered changed I know only rich guys ever say it and look like pricks doing so, I certainly used to think so, but its the truth My sister will be bedridden in a few years My mother has depression and severe ptsd from seeing her little boy drenched in blood day after day My girlfriend wakes up in the middle of the night screaming thinking her parents are coming to brutalize her again My money had no impact on any of that, and it never will Sure you can make it all more tolerable with money, but it’s the equivalent of putting a bandage on a gun wound It will give you more time but you’ll still die the same way You guys seem so certain that money makes a man’s worth I keep seeing you talk shit about low skilled workers on here Let me tell you something, sometimes life just fucks with people and there isn’t a damn thing they can do but you’re too privileged to even realize it Trust me I would know My mother is the biggest winner I’ve ever seen and I am not saying it because she’s my mother She dedicated her life to giving me my injections every 48h for more than 13 years without missing a single one She slept on a wooden chair next to me for months, months while I was an inch from death in the hospital If this world was a meritocracy she’d be richer than I could ever dream of And yet one day some mean looking men came in our house and took the furniture and her car to pay for our late bills You know what she said the minute they left? “Look at all the extra space we got now !” It didn’t matter, none of it did All that mattered is that we were okay and we would see another day I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again There is only one true metric of success Happiness Everything else is secondary Regardless of where you are in your life, rich or poor, healthy or sick, young or old, your only job is to find what matters to you and do everything you can to be happy Fuck what others say, the only ones that matter are the people you love and that doesn’t have to mean family Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to live
