>I'm literally cleaning up human shit and eating scraps of food from people's plates because I'm not allowed a lunch break and I'm starving, with a bachelor's degree
>drinking a lot because depressed
>Decide to unfuck my life because this is sad
>teach myself calculus
>charm my way into mgmt job
>go back to school
>get IT job
>get MS STEM degree
>work in shitty place doing IT stuff
>headhunter offers me WFH job for 6 figs
>now I'm working from home and I've gotten a blowjob from my wife every lunchbreak for about 500 days straight
>we have a beautiful baby with blonde hair and blue eyes
>life is good
>picrel I bought in 2012. When I purchased it, it was a painful purchase and a major investment
>I now own the entire set of 2012 to 2022 and the whole group is basically a fraction of my paycheck
>take them out from time to time to reflect on my journey.

While at times it was not fun, I wouldn't do it over again. You may be living a horrible existence right now but you can choose at any time to start doing things differently.
