This made me think. My own parents for sure, they're honestly toxic shits. But since I was a deprived punk, I bet I was the one bad example running out of the house, getting tattooed, never showing up at school etc etc. My wider family felt obviously better their children are better. Everybody felt better and everybody knew - until school ended.

Now, 15 years later, I'm a trusted wifey of very solid, loving guy, we raise two freaking awesome kids and do well. Not to brag, but I've been blessed.

And the reason this happened was because he found me working my ass off in my own business, fighting authorities with the same loud mouth and I was interesting to him, fun and didn't care about his money at all. I actually told him to fuck off in first sentence.πŸ‘€ And a day doesn't go by when I don't worship his based sweet ass and follow him abroad and in his dreams. Which he likes. So it works.πŸ˜€

Anyone who uses anybody's struggle as a bad example out loud is a piece of shit who doesn't know better or see further future. Be a bad example. Don't be an idiot, don't be a dick, but go for yourself. I root for you and your struggles.😑 My husband is the second one actually and what! I'm still friends with my best friend, we just shouldn't marry. No need to cling to something that doesn't feel right.

Giving people "a stamp" is such a nono. "My kid is smart, but he's really bad at drawing, AREN'T YOU, HONEY?" and now I'm getting just triggered about parenting

Oh I'll rather

Oh

I was the black swan of my inner family. From a family that Americans would desribe as blue collars at best, I just wanted more from my life.

It didn’t go as planned, I get that. But still I am closest to financial freedom as one can get, working my ass of to build a generational wealth because if you don’t come from a wealthy family make sure a wealthy family comes from you.

And by wealth I don’t mean money only even if unfortunately it’s not possible without it. I am focusing or finding and/or building communities, to engage is a relationships that have strong roots and meaning and to be a good father and a husband.

Sometimes it’s beneficial to be a black swan.
