Preach
i think ALOT of us are in the same boat you are, especially us "learn-ed" ones. That shyt you said about the old IT head stuck with me because theres middle aged cats at my job and some real old heads who are gonna be irrelevant (some are) on the strength of technology alone. Sometimes I wish i had the $$$ to "hit" the pause button and get my shyt in order so that I can fly on my own. I think at some point, alot of these old heads became okay with just showing up to work everyday and getting a check. Some days they didnt have to do much or exert themselves and in turn, they were able to afford to feed, clothe and shelter their families. I guess thats the trade off. you put them dreams on hold (indefinitely) so that you can survive without having to be in constant survival mode.
But I wanna do more. you spend 8 hours at work and like 1.5 hours on top of that just getting to and from work, and those are usable hours where you could really be making shyt pop off. i know for a fact that more and more of our generation just stay up later and later. Some are up learning the things that will make them truly independent, others are sniffing out some p*ssy, some are getting
just eating garbage and watching TV, while others are burning up time playing shyt like GTA V. We all go through a combination of that, but at some point a small minority do turn that "corner" and just figures it out.
i gotta fukken make it brehs, i dont have a back up plan. no one is gonna take care of me
