"If you work for a living, why kill yourself working?"
Wasn’t a quote but my big red pill was watching my dad work hard and loyally all his life, count the days until his retirement for a year, and then suddenly die 8 months into retirement
>>21608570All my life, rather, I’m not a time traveller
>>21608527"I sometimes go and observe the wagies during lunch, at the park, being let out of their cages"
>>21608527gotta risk it for the biscuit heh
>>21608666Checked
>>21608570you better make it early and live your best life, anon. it sounds like you are standing on the shoulders of a great man.
>>21608527Simply the fact that the financial system is currently set up in such a way that it has turned the majority of the population into debt slaves and that society is not worth participating in.
>>21608570Christ that's rough
>>21608570Similar shit.>mother always talked about becoming a writer in retirement>dead at 58
>>21608758JUST
>Why work for money when you can make money work for you.
>>21608527you call that a quote?that's on the same level as "Get busy livin or get busy dyin" in terms of being faux-insightful
>>21608527Not a quote. I simply scroll through LinkedIn to remind myself to never become one of these spineless jellyfish that call themselves "men". These people debase themselves every chance they get in front of their employers.Every job, every college credit hour is a task to accrue fiat in order to invest in crypto, pms and realestate so i can exit the corporate hamster wheel within the next five years.If i dont make it before im 40 and i dont have any kids. Ill sacrifice myself in commiting some sort of political violence. Fuck it, this society is garbage if you dont have wealth. Utter garbage.
>>21608527Test
>>21608688He’s why I’m growing this board right now, making entire paychecks in days
>>21608847Super based especially that last part
>>21608527Same here. I got to enjoy it for about a year then had a heart attack, which was in large part due to all the stress he endured at work for decades.
>>21608847I want to have sex with you immediately
>>21608881*He, my father, got to enjoy it for ayear.
>>21608758Sorry to hear anon.
>>21608847>>21608871take it from an anon who came from abject poverty to made-it tier with this last bull run... if you are unhappy poor you will be even more unhappy rich.
>>21608908What about me?
>>21608604based
>>21608570Damn dude
>>21608847Well said lad
>>21608666Try turkey heh
>>21608527"It is tame and stupid to acquire by immense toil what they might by courage, valor or blood."-Ancient German saying"Unless there is the fire and the storm. There are only day dreams, for year and years."-Charls Carroll
Ever notice how wagies don't look human? They deteriorate in their cars.At their desks. In front of their tvs.They look almost like ghouls.Like radition is being recirculated in the office air vents.
>>21608758sorry mate>>21608570sorry fren
>>21608847BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASED <3
>>21608570>>21608758God bless you anons that’s tragic
>>21608847screenshotted
>>21608847Based. God fucking speed anon. Do not disappoint us. Either race your lambo with wild abandon on the freeway past all the normie wage cucks or play Minecraft irl
>>21608570Fuck same here, 4 months in for my old man ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>>21608916Well let me find out for myself at least
>>21608916bullshit. I unfortunately grew up poor and with deadbeats for parents. Ive actualized myself to know what my goals are, they are obtainable realistic goals. I will exit the busy body corporate sycophantic space and learn to farm from my finances family. I will live out my days working with my hands, not worrying about a mortgage or diversity or the news for the rest of my life while i smoke on my porch watching the sunset on the eastern shore of maryland. I will butcher any nigger that stands in my way. Im all fucking in for the pm and crypto bullruns that will occur in the next five years.
Not a specific quote, buy people getting excited for tax returns. That is literally your money you could have put into investment opportunities that the government was holding onto. Why aren't you mad?
>>21608570thx calling my dad now NGL
>>21608916Interesting. Don’t you feel like you have more freedoms, less worries?
>>21608527"buy chainlink, and start a real holocaust"
Not so much a quote...But you ever played one of those hellishly complicated games like elder scrolls, witcher, etc. and they'll put in some cheese like the infinite money mudcrab or whatever and that's fun for a while until it isn't and then you go looking for a real catch and you find some gargantuan loophole that the dev's didn't intend. And these aren't fuckwits, these are smart professionals, probably in the top chunk of their industry who missed this teeny tiny little thing nobody else saw. That shit is waiting to be found every fucking day in potentially every fucking nook and crannie you investigate in the real world. You aren't playing Morrorind. You're playing playing Morrowind.
>>21608847
>>21609068>actualized>butcher any niggeryeaaaaaaaaaaaaahh sounding real woke there, eckhardt.
>>21608570This! My grandfather did the same. (Poor irish/english) worked until he was 80 probably because it gave him a sense of purpose. As soon as he retired his health declined rapidly and he died from prostate cancer about 1 year later. Never even got to enjoy his last two years because grandma got diagnosed with altziheimers and his personal health declined so rapidly he was basicly bed ridden after retirement.
>>21608916what if the sole reason you're unhappy is because you can't afford material things that are relevant to the very hobbies that make you happy?
>>21609200Sorry anon. My dad was quick, just dropped dead in his chair while gaming
>>21609068you dont need to amass any great fortune to do what you describe>>21609112its always a trade-off. mo money mo problems, as the saying goes.
>>21609068We're all gonna make it, lads.
>>21609189Cringe
>>21608527>buy a plot of land for 10,000>buy a 5th wheel camper for 10,000????????????
>>21608527im not redpilled i am simply fueled by purely selfish reasons and i dont care
>>21609220you will find accumulating material things quickly grows boring and then being surrounded by all your expensive shit alone in your house only makes you even more unhappy
>>21609220Then you should find better and cheaper hobbies
How fucking fat are your dads that they stroke out at 66?
Financial freedom will make your lives easier and better, but the anon who said the thing about unhappiness was right. Work on improving yourselves now, there’s no magic wand
>>21609223God I wish it was quicker for both my grandparents. Raised a family of 7 kids well under the poverty line. Grandma took 5 years to go out after grandpa she had a stroke and basicly spent the rest of her retirement losing her mind in a hospital bed half paralyzed from the stroke. I used to go sit with her and put on the Beatles and just watch her smile and try and sing along. All I know is that experiencing that shit gave me a fire to succeed like never before. I dont wana go out the way they did. We gonna make it fren. Put the suffering to good use. Let it mold you into a strong enduring person. Wish you all the best anon.
>>21609295I just want to build a nice home for my wife and kids, and then never work again

>>21609382>WifeNGMI
>>21609382its best to already have a family before you make it, sadly im afraid ill never be able to trust a woman again
Being a wagie is one thing. Working a career where you have little autonomy, are a middleman, a cog in a giant machine, or just a warm body is the most depressing. Like you personally are completely expendable and the company would function exactly the same had you never gotten the job.
>>21609270what about the income necessary to pay for utilities, land tax, etc?
>>21609368Hitachi?
>>21608527>good morning>monday again>how are you?>good, how are you?>good!>that's good>how was your weekend?>good, how was yours?>also good thanks>hump day!>here we are again>another week>another day>another dollar>have a good weekend!>don't drink too much!
this one really woke upyou're a poop gay boy loser
>>21609425I am ahead on my trades but I have never told her about investing. I lost a "lot" of money last year but I know that this is the only way for me to make it so I am trying crypto again. My plan is to let her know what I invested in after I buy a plot of land for us to build on
>>21608847This. Couldn't say it better. Every effort to gtfo of the rat race.
>>21609429That is every career though. Even high level execs are thrown away and never mentioned again if needed

>>21608570Thats why I put a hard limit on my lifespan. At 70 I'll kill myself. Ez, now I dont gotta save for retirement, I just enjoy myself now.
Wasn't a quote but my big redpill was actually working for a living, shit was absolutely miserable. Said to myself, "fuck this, I would rather die a free hobo than a rich slave."
>>21608847Based and redpilled. I hope you make it though.
>>21608570same, grandfather worked hard af all his life, retired and then die at 73(1month ago), and his wife of 1 year got all his retirement money because of law.
I just want to make enough to get a passive source of income + a nice house somewhere. I want to travel a lot in my future and I don't want two weeks vacation per year to do so.
I think ill go into the military. I cant stomach another moment of open office wage slavery
>>21608527I think it's really sad watching the Millennials that still believe in the system. Trying to buy insanely priced houses that they can't afford, while simutaneously trying to stay married and raise a family that they can't afford. They're chasing a 1950's version of America that just doesn't exist anymore and they don't accept it, while the people that have accepted it and moved on are leading happier lives.
>>21608688>shoulders of a great man.You mean a poor idiot.
>>21609465Jesus Fuck dude you just listed my entire communication with normies.
>>21608847this. And the last part is based. I always hated the "self yourself" advice that people give you when applying for jobs. It's such a facade and I'm not a fucking commodity. It's so degrading.
>>21609710what I'm supposed to do then? buy a land in the middle of no where, build a tent and live there? come on man.. I need a shelter.
Fuck bros how do I get out of the cycle? I'm 25 and make great money, but even white collar workers such as myself won't be able to escape it. 100k ain't shit in most cities and it hasn't been for awhile. Is pink the future?
>>21609772Think camper
>>21608847It seems fucked but be patient anon it'll come because you're looking for it, you get so much wiser with age and once your mind is calm and you forgive others for their shitty decisions you'll be an unstoppable, unbreakable beast. good luck to ya, your dad would be proud
>20k>can move away from places that get stampeeded by democrats>no (mortgage)>internet>best views
>>21609068Fucking based. Exactly my idea.
>>21608916Not exactly. It just makes your real problems come to fruition once you realize being broke wasn't the real problem
>>21609717says the rootless, childless husk
>>21608527Not really a quote but a conceptYou either take risks nowOr risk that that secure but low wage job will provide for you fiscally and emotionally when you're older.
>>21609845how do you establish a permanent address?

>>21608863What do you mean ? Man today my dam boomer boss is asking for my commitment and all I want to do is try to go in to trading full time. The first 1000x move I hit I’m out.
>>21609068Delmarva side of the Chesapeake is comfy af. You just have to put up with the beltway shitheads that work out of DC. Unironically relate more to inner city black folk than a lot of those entitled air heads>t. grew up not to far from where Rumsfeld and Cheney played golf
>>21609956imagine gathering mediocre wealth and blasting it all leaving behind no legacy or anyone who even cares your gone.
>>21609116
>>21609295the majority of people here don't want material things. They want freedom from needing to do something they don't want to do for 5/7ths of their time to continue existing because death is preferable to that.Wealth does not give you happiness but it makes it easier to achieve the goals that do without exception. If you are someone that found the opposite to be true it's because you're a coward or stupid or incompetent
>>21608527"Do you really want to slave away 5/7 of your life?"
>>21609717Don't be a dick for no reason
>>21609658Go into the air national guard and embrace max neet-ness
If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.Love this degenerate fuck so much.

>>21608527Fuck bro’s I really hope most of us make it in this Bull Run even if I can make a years worth of wage slaving money that’s enough to make me a Neet and figure the next move. I’m studying options I know a bro making huge money in that he never has to go back to wage slaving.

Im not rich, but i can go kayaking on the river next to my property on tuesday at 11am, and thats better than most consoomer junk having lots of money will get you.
>>21610325I'm glad to know I'm not alone in this fight.
>>21608570My Father worked hard and made a great living as an honest blue collar man all his life, but my Mother spent all his money and crushed his spirit. She had stage 3 cancer years ago and the family thought we could come together to heal our relationships and move on. She recovers and bankrupts us utterly, we lost the family home. I thought the devil was playing tricks on me; I had nightmares as a child of the family ending up broke and penniless. I found myself wishing for cancer to come back to kill my mom. Crazy. That was my black pill moment. When I've made enough to retire I'm going to take care of my dad and just fuck off into nowhere. I just want to play my guitar alone. I don't trust or connect with anyone anymore.
>>21608527Ownership of assets, building a business, owning stocks, owning crypto, making value on yr own is the only way out
>>21612309I'd love to scoop pepperoni shit out of a dominoes sink
>>21610988Based
The wage cuck mindset of all my peers and the inability to think for themselves. 90% of my friends are in the exact same position they were in 5 years ago.Also I've gone into business with other people a couple times and have been fucked over by my partners both times. I didn't need anyone to teach me how to swing trade. It's honestly quite lonely and I'm probably depressed but atleast I'm not poor

>>21608570My old man worked his ass off his whole life. Worked his way up to a senior position. He was a good guy. Sometimes he had to make decisions for the good of the corporate company. He never fired people when they wanted him to but he would demote them. The people he tried to help hated him and the people above him hated him. He took it all on the chin. It would weigh heavy on his soul, he loved the people he worked with and knew they had families. He couldn't send them packing. Two years before he was ready to retire he had a heart attack from the stress. I was just an early teenager. Would give anything for one more hour with him.
>>21614426I'm sorry anon your father sounded like a great person. Please continue his legacy of kindness without sacrificing your health
>>21608527No quotes. I worked for a small chem manufacturer, turned around a product line, which helped them sell the business and sunset. Got laid off after with 20% of the company. I was unemployed for over a year, couldn't find work in my field, was overspecialized, overqualified, and undereducated in an oversaturated field. Could only find labtech positions for slightly above minimum wage, which I couldn't even get. Got addicted to benzos for a bit, had a mental breakdown after my 10th failed interview; it was a bad time. I lost my sense of identity, my sense of self worth, my ability to provide for myself.Money became extremely important to me. Left the state, started over, got a foot in the door at a finance firm. I'm quite jaded now, and a bit angry with the world and the sales pitch that put me in the chem department. Funny thing was I thought I was being practical with my major since "America needs STEM majors." Fuck this system. I'm getting mine now and I don't give a fuck who gets shit on along the way. More than anything I want financial freedom. So today I'm a banker. Tomorrow I'll be free.

>>21610325>You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire.
Three quotes that knocked my socks off at the right time in my life. Pardon the reddit spacing, but it's necessary here.If you do not build your own dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs.Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not why ships are built.
>>21608527"The dollar will soon be worth zero and you would have been worth more if you took on shittons of debt and bought lots of stuff you don't need"
"Money will not buy you happiness, but hell, it can sure rent it."Think hookers.
No particular quote, just the same reasons most of youhave. Seeing the same things, realizing how miserable it is to forced to work to live in this shit society. There are some benefits of society, but you can only truly enjoy these benefits if you are rich, living on the fringes of society while having to contribute little to it. If i cannot become rich/find a means of making good money, i plan on simply giving up and returning to nature completely.
>>21608758The thought of one day retiring to be a writer was not what brought joy to her day anon. It was you.

>>21608570Dad didn't die. He just worked for a company from my birth till I was 20-ish, was the last of the old guard at Carpenter Co. he had worked every job but manager at, and new boss fired him over a run red light while he was trucking for the upteenth year. After that many years of loyalty, he was righteously mad. Took his 401k and other retirement out, became a rancher. "Retired" from that with his new gf and moved out to the four corners. He's coming to visit me and his newest granddaughter this friday. Just trades boomer stocks all day when he's not biking in the desert or other stuff he's always loved doing.Meanwhile, I got my retirement gig as a rancher when I married into Texas oil money, and am going to grad school this fall since my knees are giving out on me (menisci never formed properly, apparently, on top of being a fat ass and playing football throughout middle/high school). Hopefully I'll have a son soon to carry on family name and help around the ranch.
It's not a saying, but I definitely treasure my free-time. I want to have as much of it as I can. It's why I only work part-time jobs. The thought of having a full-time 40hour a week job scares me.
I actually like my job a lot and I’d go crazy if I didn’t work. I’ll probably work until I die. It just doesn’t pay that well so shitcoins are the only way I could ever become wealthy

I work a remote help desk weekends only and I the pay is actually quite a bit more than minimum wage due to night hours.I could even get a full-time job and still keep this one, but it's a great safety net and you also fix the "CV gaps" problem.

>>21608634It also can't be understated how /r9k/ NEETs also can do a number on your psyche if you listen to the content of what they're saying.

>>21610134Imagine not spending all of your money to enjoy life while you're still alive and giving it to some ungrateful prick instead to do this while you rot in the ground. This board is full of stormfaggot retatds.
>>21608527My dad showed me this scenehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdfeXqHFmPIRealized I could just make a certain amount of money and escape more or less. Made that my goal.

>>21611501>>21614916>If you do not build your own dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs.This is a big theme in one of my favorite manga Berserk. Truth-pilled.
>>21610325sauce?
>>21608916anyone who says money can't buy happiness is a fucking poverty stricken asshole.
>>21615479>I’ll probably work until I die.One trick is to find a job you wouldn't want to retire from.
>>21616749some already have with bitcoin eth and now link
>>21616791I still don't know what my dream is
>tfw work from home for my pc support job and just shitpost on /biz/ while occasionally helping some indian setup their account or solve an issue I'm so comfy but I still want to quit it's a waste of time. Fuck I hope we get a good bull run. Next month bros.
>>21608527Here are 10 quotes, bitches.I don’t need a job, I own XRP.
>>21608527This made me quit and want to start my own startup. But then I stumbled into crypto in early 2017 and the rest is history.
Is it me or is everyone really grouchy these days. Not even talking unemployed.All those I know at work seem tired, stressed, pissed off at bosses and wanna quit.Is it much worse to be a wageslave in 2020?
>>21616927What was gonna be your cool start up friend? Asking because all I’m good at is coming up with ideas, they are 90% failure ideas and 10% possible poorfag but business owner
>>21617024Quite the contrary; it‘s never been as comfortable and easy being a wageslave as it is today.The issue is that we think that even as an average worker, we should be able to lead a rockstar life, fuck models 24/7 and own 3 houses. Which has never been and will never be true. But after 100 years of modern capitalism and consumerism people have been accustomed to getting pretty much everything they want, even if they and their efforts are just average
>>21617024Coronavirus showed those in authority have no idea what they're doing and are not looking out for you, something you experience as a young worker on a day to day basis with probably every single one of your bosses. You are not compensated fairly for your work and you cannot escape and live to tell the tale. You know there is no chance of you getting into a comfortable position in work and life anytime soon, not for many years (and that's if you're totally clueless about the impending economic crash).There is absolutely zero reason to be optimistic about the future, and by extension the present conditions. Of course anyone sane is going to have trouble hiding that dissatisfaction---and why should they hide it. Maybe the world needs more rage.
>>21608570Same thing happened to me. Few monthas ago. Out of the blue.
>>21608688>live your best lifetwitterfaggot
>>21617150>ah, the comforts of never being able to an afford a home or family>my grandfather never owned a Nintendo Switch, what a horrible life he lived
>>21617024Wait so the wagies are finally acting like me when i was employed? I acted like a goofball but made it obvious I hated the job and didnt enjoy my former supervisors presence (she was really annoying and could figure out stuff herself....in an office environment)
>>21608833Boomerisms aren't supposed to make you think. You think boomers think? They feel and act off instincts, which these frivolous dictums are ingrained as.
>>21617173I wonder when it's gonna boil over? There's a global food pandemic on its way in the next decade, and even if I somehow got rich enough to make it through that, I don't know if I'll feel good just looking out for me.
>>21612130How much money do I need to achieve this. Any states it is more feasible in?
>>21615030Based and frenpilled
>>21617039Probably won't apply to you, but the small company I was working at was getting 7-digit software contracts from businesses as clients, which we usually finish in a few months with a team of like 10-20 people. And I was writing like 20 out of 200+ screens/reports/pages per project.But I wasnt getting a tenth of what the clients paid our company, not even close. Like the company owner was keeping like 80% and splitting up the remaining 20% as wages, when he didn't even lift a finger.So I wanted to make my own similar software company, since I had experience of the whole process. And hire new grads or something, and pocket a huge amount of the contact price myself.
I want to save my friends and family; I know that's arrogant and stupid.Also, no one will take you seriously if you don't have your shit together even if you want to help.
>>21608570My mum died at 58 after working get whole life, she never got to retire. Happens a lot it seems
>>21608570>Grandfather grinded his way up at Safeway for 30 years and made it to be in charge of a distribution center>retires at 55>dies at 62This man died a day before he was to buy an RV to travel the US.
>>21617756That sounds like noooo fun, glad to hear you’re standing up for yourself too! I should have fallen for the learn to code meme would be fun to build websites cause I find that stuff cool, I went through with a bs in finance and some flying certs but now I’m left with wagie level jobs and I’d rather die than slave. I’m not sure what software you like but Garmin likes outsourcing some software stuff! I am a huge tea fanatic since I grew up around it, always wanted to start my own tea brand. But that’s besides the point, thanks for sharing anon it was a good read! Good luck
>>21608847Very VERY based
Honestly I dont even want to escape the rat race myself, just helping my family is good enough. Like, last week my sister called me, all scared because her husband was really sick, he was crying, thinking he got infected by coronachan, and was really afraid of passing it to his kids, so he began talking about killing himself so that my sister could get his insurance money and keep the family going after he died. So we got the rest of the family together, talked with him, and got him to go to the hospital, seek treatment or help if he really did get coronachan in his blood. He did all the tests and they came back negative, the real reason he was getting is because he was constantly working 12 to 16 hours shifts, seven days every week, my sister lost her job at the beginning of this pandemic, and being the man of the house, he was doing everything he could to feed his family, even if meant working himself in a early grave. At that moment I was filled with respect for him, that's what a good father and husband should be like, and at the same time, there is a feeling of sadness watching a good man being forced to destroy himself just to feed his wife and kids, life should not be this way. if I make it, I will try to lift everyone in my family, might take a few more years of waging myself, but I would never be able to enjoy my neetdom while knowing good people in my family are killing themselves in the rat race.
>>21617972To add another thing. His last bit of advice was: "Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm" I didn't understand that phrase until I got older when family started looking for help and handouts.

>>21609068Cont. And I will need to find a finance first.
>>21612130>owner of balls of steel, master of neets, hero of redpilled wage slaves
>>21609070Exactly this. Ive never understood brainlets that celebrate or brag about their tax returns. I try to get as close to zero as i can every year
>>21609658>be office drone>become military droneSome people can't be helped
>>21608570holy I feel like that's so common. My dad was diagnosed with a glioblastoma last year and died in April at the age of 59. Worked hard af his whole life and never got to enjoy the good things. Shit it hurts, I miss you dad
>>21611501> the landowner trailerpark cowbow based
>>21614916>Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.i wish someone told me that 20 years ago
>>21608527For a while I worked in a toxic team while going through a divorce, death of my grandma and my dad on the IC. To cope I started to eat to much junk (gain 15 kg), and drinked heavy during weekdays (because without I couldn't sleep). I was literally losing everything, but then it hit me. I've only got myself to blame for the decline not my whore ex, not god, not my job. I've decided to take control back. Switched to a comfy job, started exercising 4 times a week, quit the booze , quit social media and unironical quit /pol/ .I'm feeling better then ever, only need my crypto to pamp so I can fully leave the rat race.Godspeed anons
Didn't need anything to redpill me, wageslavery is so obviously shit that i wanted out of it before i even started. Having to sell yourself to someone else for most of your waking life every single week just so you can maintain yourself to work for them some more the next week is humiliating
"Despite all my rage, I'm still just a wage in a cage"
I'm young bros and I'm going to a top five university for free. I still wanna improve the world and all that shit even if it comes at my own expense. I just wanna see everybody make it.
>>21617419>There's a global food pandemic on its way in the next decadekek. gain weight become a 400lbs man. to fat to be evicted from his home. surviving the food shortages. and when the storm is over you can fuck all the fwtdhw
>>21617756i always wanted to start a software company or at least develop a product in my freetime but i have no clue what the demand is. nobody is saying what he needs and is totally okay with excel. i had some retarded app ideas that all turned out tp be crap. what software did you build?
>>21608688> died a retard after waging good and hard> a great man
>>21614726Glad you turned things around anon, I had a depressive episode with benzos, its not fun. Secure that bag and fuck university it's a lie for most people even STEMs.
>>21620072Screw that. Learn how old engines works and start rebuilding cheap old cars. Then get some land and start an oldschool farm. The world as we know it might be going away.
>>21619839That's pretty unevidenced though. Personality traits and capability is highly genetic. Life is literally about finding out and coming to terms with who you are. The creation is in forming an environment that complements that.
>>21610516Saw it a couple months ago, easily in my top 3 favorite movies. Can't believe i've been sleeping on it for so long.
