It's a F**ked up World my Guy

Prologue

Life sucks. I mean this literally and figuratively. Time seems to evade us when we're having fun and takes forever to pass when life is shitty. It's strange how we can be living in the same day and age, but we lead totally different lives. How one person can be living the life of their dreams and another can be living homeless on the streets with no way of escape. I find myself in the middle. I'm doing well in regards to money, and never have to truly worry about if I'm going to be able to pay my bills or go hungry. But I wonder quite often if there's more to life. Am I moving to fast, or to slow? If I can tame my spending habits, how quickly could I save? How much would I have in a few months, years, so on and so forth. Had I not made the choices I had, where would I be? Certainly not here. I'd probably be lost, homeless, or even more tragically, dead. I've always been a bit of an exaggerator, its become more clear to me that I've always been a special kinda person.
What I mean by this is I always try to look to the positive. I try to be a light that people can see or go to when they're struggling. I tend to exaggerate my pain or my excitement. I wonder if that stems from my childhood. I had to make some really fucked up decisions that no kid should have to make. I was put through some shitty situations, and yeah I am who I am because those things happened. But it doesn't make me wish any less that they didn't happen. But seriously there are more important things to think about in this day and age. I was born and the world was already a fucked up place. 9/11 had just happened about 7 months before I was born, inflation was starting to hit an all time high making it very difficult for my generation to get out on their own. I became an adult less than a month after Covid 19 hit and the pandemic started. School shootings happen very regularly and the government isn't doing shit to stop them it feels like. Peaceful protests turn to violent riots within a blink of an eye. Kids aren't able to be kids today, due to how much access to the internet we have at our very fingertips. With this depression is constant because almost everyone compares their lives to other's on the internet.
    We've become nearly blind to violence and it's sickening. I don't know how the hell I'm going to go into detail about how fucked up the US is, and how it's affected my life. I want to hopefully shed some light on a lot of topics that as a young adult and mid-age GenZ, I go through seeing on a daily basis.
