You will never be a real startup. You have no audience, you have no funding, you have no product. You are a deranged man twisted by drugs and entrepreneur youtubers into a crude mockery of the greatest minds of a generation.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your insane idea-guy rants behind closed doors.

Venture Capitalists are utterly repulsed by you. Any VC with the power to write term sheets has decades of experience, allowing them to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even small businesses with “brand reach” look disappointing and pathetic to them. Your company structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a few angel investors to take a look at you, they'll turn tail and bolt the second they get a glance at your shitty, 3 page Ruby on Rails app.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your bank statement, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know an Entrepreneurship Major is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably not that of a Businessman's.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

the 2010s fetishization of the "techtrepreneur" was somehow gayer than the 1980s fetishization of the stock trader and the 1990s/2000s festhisization of the investment banker.
