Kitter, Kitter, ever bold,
Will your courage e'er be fully told?
Your streaming whiskers, flashing teef
With which you've seized the lettuce leaf.
Oh Kitter, Kitter, ever bold,
May your master not see fit to scold,
For Kitter does as Kitters do,
Around an untended bowl or two.

If it makes you feel any better, it comes from a realish place. I’m feeling alienated from my old frinds group because we used to all be pretty sheltered, but now I drink a lot and smome, and they’re really naggy about that. Not even in a “I’m your friend and care” sort of way, just a “that’s dumb and you’re going to die from smoking a Juul for like 2 years until you graduate college” way. I’m not too cool or successful or anything, I just hate when people don’t want to let me do my own thing and are hypocritical about it. It’s the same reason I don’t get along with people who are actually cool.

That's the great irony of life OP. You are locked out of enlightenment yet bombarded by tales of it, ever enticing you. The hero's journey ends with you realizing you were not the hero.

Being "a loser" is a mindset. You can be succesful in the eyes of society and still off yourself
