there is something gained working shit jobs, barely scraping by, partying all the time like nothing matters and you have nothing to lose
-
and I do remember being that kid feeling there's this whole crazy world out there that everyone was Experiencing that I was missing out on

but at the same time it's not something you want to recommend to anyone, like, oh yea fuck your whole life up and if you manage to hit...

...rock bottom and then make it out again and also not die you'll have a ton of great stories and give no fucks

there is probably a common model for general hardship here. "it made me who I am and I draw on it constantly but wouldn't wish it on anyone"

also easy to romanticize in hindsight as I am doing now but you don't get to narrativize an exciting backstory if it fucks you up for good
-
still, hard not to look at those who always lived normal, stressing over trivialities, doing what they're supposed to, and not feel powerful

sometimes I feel self-conscious about fact that I am a decade behind where I could be on computers/math but in all I wouldn't change a thing
