Life is controlled by the wealthy, the elite. The ones with all the power. No amount of “working hard” or “being smart” or “being nice” got me fucking anywhere.
Also in my case, I was fucked by own family. So I got double fucked.
Yes, I am angry. Better angry than depressed and hopeless all day. Thanks for your comment, Dex. Your comment turned my feeling of “blah” into anger. Anger feels better than utter hopelessness (though I still feel that).
But that’s the LIE we’ve all been fed our entire lives. So we diligently plug away, working hard and not taking up arms and start a revolution. We are trained monkeys. They want us monkeys to work and stay in our little cages. And for the most part, 99% of us have been brainwashed and bought into that.
Well, actually you can be whatever you want to be, but it’s not that easy. It takes motivation and the ability to actually do it. Plus, most the stuff that they make us believe we can be, they’re not even real! For years it’s scraped knees and broken bones, but nobody warned us about the shattered hearts and broken souls we may have one day. Nobody warned us our bright worlds of rainbows and occasional rainy weather could go so freaking dark.
yes life is controlled by the wealthy and elite who are only a small amount of people; but they rule all and people are continually fed rubbish every day. i would elaborate but i cant think now really
Well sometimes you can’t be whatever you want to be bc of your gender, race, ethnicity, weight, looks, poverty, malnutrition, sickness, etc. Life isn’t just about working your ass off and having the motivation and sheer determination. Bc if that were case, I’d have made it. And I would be shitting rainbows. Sometimes there are barriers that are beyond our control.
How about, you can be anything you want to….. (options of wants limited, variable conditions apply, not available to all people in every situation, multiple restrictions apply, tell your doctor if you experience rectal bleeding or death as these may be signs of serious side effects, act now and receive a free sham wow, sham wow no longer available to all residents, if you feel you’ve reached this recording in error please hang up and try your call again, void where prohibited, must be 18 or older, offer subject to change without notice, voucher is not redeemable for cash)
@bah: I agree completely. There are barriers beyond our control, and success often has nothing to do with how hard a person can work for it. You said it perfectly.
In the end it’s all really just who’s lucky and who’s not. It’s just that most of the time, the “luck” part ends up being bought by those who have the money. The other “lucky ones” are those who are smart, talented or have the potential, or divine intervention or what have you, who managed to go beyond the rules. Everyone else is left to get by with whatever they can get.
Meanwhile, everyone gets told the fairy tale, but no one ever pointed out that there’s only ever one or a handful of pairs who gets the happily-ever-after and everyone else gets shuffled into a black hole of supporting-roles who have no happily-ever-afters, just continuing their stale existence as minor characters complete with struggles that never get any kind of screen time because they only mattered as a background prop.

I wondered that at least a dozen times today too.
We must to learn to accept what we cannot change
Such as proofreading
Older people started teaching younger people that life is just a fairytale.
So when those younger people became older people, they were fucked.
YES! I resent being lied to. “You can be whatever you want to be.” ” You can achieve anything as long as you are smart / work hard / etc.” All LIES.
People who say that kind of shit need to have their tongues cut out.

I think the lie I hate the most is “There are plenty of fish in the sea, and there’s SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE.”

@alan: That sounds about right.
I wish I was forewarned with a disclaimer. Would’ve made the burst bubbles not quite so painful.

Oh, that felt really bitter.
I don’t know, but I just want it to end already. Especially mine.
Come on, apocalypse!
kitty Kat… can I please have your prayers
Yes, of course. What’s wrong, friend?
I will post tomorrow.. I am shaking too much… something very very bad
Oh no…be safe, sportsnut. I’ll be praying hard.
Btw, off topic. Is that your real picture, Alan? If not, where is it from?
It’s Steve Buscemi character from the Adam Sandler movie “Mr.Deeds”
Ahhhh. So THAT’S it!

Yeah yeah…
We’ll just call you crazy eyes from now on…
As someone that has suffered with anxiety since childhood, I blame my anxiety. It has always prevented me from getting what I truly want.
omg… fuck… my eyes just filled with tears typing that. =(
I think depression and anxiety go hand in hand.
Gosh, why am I suddenly thinking of that stupid song:
“Love and marriage. Love and marriage. They go together like horse and carriage.”
“Depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety. They go together like horse and carriage.”
