(sorry if this was posted multiple times reddit gives me an error when i try to post it so im assuming its not posting)
​
hey, none of you know me and this is a really random post to make considering i'm an extremely inactive reddit user who doesn't like the site too much, but krr is a website that constantly comes back to me. its a tiny relic in my life that i only frequented for a few years
​
in 2019, i was into making crappy rpgs. i had this really terrible free rpg maker alternative i used because i had turned 13 about 2 months prior and didn't know about the dirt cheap sales the rpg makers get on steam yet. i wanted to make rpgs about any franchise that i enjoyed enough, the big 3 were mario, puyo puyo, and pokemon. i have no clue why mario was one because i haven't been a massive fan of it since i was about 4, but somewhere down the line i threw in kirby. i experimented w some kirby fan stuff before, a bit before that i made some esgy kirby comment hosted on a blogspot that never went anywhere. but i was dedicated to these rpgs, i had churned out 2 complete ones and one demo. feeling dedicated to this and being an avid lover of forums at that time, i decided to just google kirby forums, and krr was one of the first results.
​
my username was cosmickirb and, at this point, there were 3 active members not including me. soul-of-marx, keeby64, and joshi. marx and keeby were regular members, joshi was a mod. we all became friends pretty quickly. marx had a lot of the same humor as me, so we goofed off a lot, while keeby was kind of the straight man of the group, and she'd usually post more normal things. i remember a big joke between me and marx in specific was buff gooey, a poorly photoshopped image of gooey ontop of a buff dude, and a bunch of other edits of the same caliber.
​
eventually 2 more members became active, diggedery (i believe thats how their username was spelled?) and metaknee. dig was another mod that stuck around for a while before falling inactive, but metaknee ended up sticking around, she actually contacted me earlier this month which was nice, even wished me happy birthday since my birthday was soon at that point. we made a thread on the site chicken smoothie to promote krr too since cs is decently active.
​
the real downdall was definitely 2020. when 2020 rolled around, the forum broke. we couldnt sign in, and if we were signed in, we couldnt post. new users couldnt sign up either. i dont remember if i pmed marx about this first or she pmed me about it first, but the site was unusable until about late 2020. i found out about it coming back a bit late, but it was too late at that point. most of us had moved on, the site was just never as active as it was in 2019.
​
most of us barely talk now despite how much we talked back then. marx just posts art to deviantart now, ans i couldnt tell you where keeby went. metaknee always pops up every so often, and joshi fell inactive after the 2020 thing happened. i miss the site a lot, the forum is completely down now. but i hope you enjoyed my story of how, in 2019, 3 teenagers came together to try to revive an old kirby forum, and it sort of worked considering how active it was with just our little group.
​
(also, at some point patmac mentioned the site in a video that had just come out at that point. i was rlly happy about that lol)

Good Evening All,
I have always been interested in getting a pinball table for my home. Physical pinball machines are large, heavy, require maintenance and repairs, and are fairly expensive for newer models. With that said, the 1up machines look to fill a spot for someone like me, however I have seen lots of reviews regarding the display being only 720p and the plastic overlay being an issue.
I also know the MSRP has risen, due to inflation, supply chain issues, and/or insert any other buzz words, to $750.
I don’t have a ton of space and the 1up machine would definitely be easier to accommodate in my space but I can fit a full size table. Money is a factor but I would be willing to spend up to 3.5k on physical table which I know isn’t a lot.
Also, I am by no means a pinball wizard but with owning a table I would like put in some hours trying to get better and really just have some fun.
With that in mind, in your opinion, are the 1up tables good enough that I should I just get one (and if so which one), or should I just say wait to figure out getting a physical table.
I know there are other virtual pinball table options out there so I am open to those suggestions as well if they have good cabinet artwork/theming and have some sort of physical feedback. FYI I wouldn’t want to spend more than about 1.5k on a virtual table.
Sorry for rambling, just been in my mind or some months and I wouldn’t mind some constructive comments.
Also, I hope I didn’t violate any rules with my request for valued opinions.
Thank you!

To put it extremely simply (and maybe dramatically) its because they dont just make a game, they make a world and then place a game in it. These games are almost like a simple virtual version of Westworld.
Let me explain, most RPGs and open world games are designed around player input, nothing happens when youre not there or without your direct involvement. However, in a BGS game, thats not the case. Here stuff can happen without you being involved at all, or hell, when youre not even there.
This is cause of all the persistance and simulations running in the background. NPCs, at least in TES, are named, have families, jobs, daily routines, and homes they return to at night to sleep. All of this is simulated when youre not around. So much so that if someone gets murdered when youre not even around (rare but it happens sometimes) you will stumble on their corpse the next time you visit that area. Theyre not just background assets that disappear when they turn a corner. They're actual persistant entities with a life, or illusion of a life. Its like how every open world game claims their game is a 'living breathing world' but in BGS's case its actually true.
Then you also have the interactivity with the world. You can pick everything up, move it around, and then theyre also persistant so when you place it somewhere it will generally stay there, unless its in the middle of a town where itll then likely get stolen by an NPC (and you can watch them do it, and even ask for it back). There is no gameplay reason for any of this, that is to say its not a mecahnic that you use as part of the core gameplay loop, its just there. Its there so that you can feel some connection to the world and when you ask the question 'can I pick this up?' The answer is yes, yes you can.
Which bring me to my next point, That question. That design philosophy of answering yes when the player wants to do something doesnt stop there, it applies to a lot of things. Can I talk to this random person? Can I kill this random person? Can I break into this house? Can I rent a room at this tavern? Can I eat this food? Can I wear this? Can I steal this mans clothes? Can I steal the weapon this guard is using? Can I eat Corpses? Can I get arrested? Can I break out of prison? Can I buy a house? Can I get married? Etc etc. All things that, like picking up items, serve no purpose other than to make the world feel almost real. Its as close to playing an actual D&D tabletop game as youre going to get in a video game just in terms of freedom and player agency.
Then you take all these designs and mechanics, and throw them into a massive world with a dozen cities and hundreds of random locations, most of which with no quest attached, where youre free to explore anywhere you want at any time. No arbritrary invisible walls creating paths through the map, no level gated areas guided you through the same areas each playthrough. Youre just dropped in this giant living world and told to have fun.
And a lot of this is to do with the engine. All of the persistance, NPCs, background simulation, interactivity etc is all built into the engine, and its the only engine that has all this stuff. Its also has one of the most efficient content creation pipelines in the industry, which is how they managed to create a game as big as skyrim with only 140 people at a time when AAA studios with 5x as many people were struggling to make open worlds a fraction of the size. I mean in the CK you can build a basic NPC and give him a simple home and daily routine in like 30-60 minutes. Adding things is just so easy and because all the simulation stuff is built into the engine there is very little for you to even do to set it up, you just click a few buttons and like todd said 'it just works'.
Thank you for listening to my todd talk

Thanks for looking!

So currently I’m on a month to month as my lease ended in November. I live in an old building. My old landlord sold the building like two months ago, and now we are here. During the year that I lived in the building I maybe got ahold of my past landlord once because I locked myself out. I never asked for repairs, and basically just lived and let live. So this place has a ton of random issues. Recently my downstairs neighbors have been texting me as well as my new landlord at all hours of the night about leaks, and various other issues. One evening the power went out of one side of my apartment and that was the only text I had sent him because it was an obvious issue. He ended up coming over, and I had to leave work to come speak to him because he couldn’t figure out what the issue was. At this meeting which was the first time we met he was really rude and arrogant and me being usually very non confrontational and a people pleaser, on this day I had decided that I was going to be firm and not let him talk down to me. I don’t think he liked this. The new landlord has been in my apartment numerous times since with very little notice to check random things out. Recently he decided I needed a new AC unit (great, but I did not ask for this). So Friday I get home from work to his handy man still in my apartment (I had to leave work to let this man in because he didn’t have a key and for some reason I was expected to do so) five hours later and you could literally see the outside from inside the apartment because he had ripped out the old ac unit and the boards around it. There was a huge mess on the floor under it of course and all over the apartment it was dirty where he had walked though. He had gotten one of my towels and thrown it on the floor to collect the moldy dirty water as well. He ended up doing a quick sweep with my broom and saying “sorry about the mess” and leaving. Picture inserted. I tried to confront my landlord about this. I told him I didn’t really find it acceptable for someone to leave my apartment like this and he literally argued with me and told me “messes like this happen when work is done” and expected me to clean it up. I ended up having to go to the store to stock up on more cleaning supplies and I left it. He told me that I should be grateful that there is “less mold” in my apartment now. L O L anyways so he tells me this handy man guy is just going to keep coming to make repairs. It’s giving me major anxiety and I feel like I’m not going to get any peace, plus now I have this major anxiety about the confrontation aspect. Today the landlords wife comes in with the handy man while I was at work and she used a whole roll of my paper towels to clean up water on the floor from the AC unit. I know it’s stupid but it feels so disrespectful to me to use your tenants things when you’re living in a McMansion collecting rent from me and I’m a single mom who buys paper towels as a luxury every now and again. Am I overreacting or is this disrespectful? I’m trying to find a new place currently but the rental market in my town is slim. Just feeling very discouraged and like it’s going to get worse.

The backstory:
Benjamin was born differently.
His parents were never sure what it was exactly, But simply put, he would never grow up.
Even then, Cut to when he was 18 years old, He still had the simple mind of an 8 year old.
His parents were arguing endlessly, Over whether or not they should take care of him in their house, Or simply take him to some disabled person's home, where he could be someone else's problem.
His mother wanted to keep him, insisting that they would not understand her son.
His father was not so loving, And did not care about the well being of his offspring, Simply wanting a reason to no longer have to deal with him.
One day, Benjamin decided he had to make his father stop hurting his mother, The way he saw her with his bottle of funny juice, Hitting his mother and calling her a... horse? a horse? Maybe that was what he said, benjamin didn't understand.
So, During one of the rare instances that his father was awake, Benjamin found a really big rock in the back yard and started calling for daddy, And once his dad opened the door and came into the back yard, Benjamin was already upon him.
His dad could hardly even react, before Benjamin knocked his father to the floor, Raised the rock above his head, And started to bash his father's skull in, The old miserable drunkard could do little to fight back, barely even scream due to the way his brain bits were being obliterated.
When his mommy found out, she cried, And told Benjamin that they were going to have pizza, And went to take a nap.
When she went to her room, She took one too many of the skittles she needed to sleep, And never woke up, So benjamin ordered the pizza for her, And ended up eating 2 whole pizzas on his own.
Once that was done, Benjamin curled up with his mother's cold body and fell asleep.
When he woke up, He saw mean people with blue suits trying to take him away, And Benjamin remembered his mother's advice on never talking to strangers, and fought back rabidly.
Many lives were lost that day, And when the town was empty, benjamin saw in the forest, A gentle mist was creeping into the place.
It was a friendly, Nice mist!
It was telling him about a fun place where nobody could hurt him or make fun of him again!
Benjamin ignored any innate sense of fear, and pushed on into the woods, Fading into the fog, And he was never seen again.

I will be seeking legal counsel but I’m interested if anyone here has ever been through a mess like this or has knowledge that may help.
The facts:

• my ex and I bought a home a few years ago as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, we weren’t married, and common law marriage is not recognized in our state.
  
• We are both on the deed, however my ex is on the mortgage note alone, pays the mortgage alone, and we had no contracts written about me contributing or what would happen in worst case. The intention was to have me be a stay at home mom and we were trying to have children.
  
• Immediately upon moving in, he became controlling and abusive. I don’t want to delve into this but eventually it escalated and I now have permanent injuries that cause a great deal of pain and loss of use of a limb, and a restraining order, and he was removed from the home.
  
• He is financially very well off. I work and could afford the home but do not have the work history and credit at the moment to buy him out.
  
• I am working feverishly to save and build credit to keep the home but I need more time. Likely 12-18 months. He is preparing to bring a partition action against me to force the sale of the home. I understand that it is his right to do so.
  

My questions are surrounding partition actions, messy non-married house disputes, and how I could compel the court to allow me to A) be the one who lives in the home until whatever resolution is reached, and B) ideally, be allowed 12-18 months to buy him out rather than lose my home through a forced sale.
Cross posted, again I know this is a lawyer issue I’m just looking for real life experiences and takes. I understand the direct solution is to sell and be done… I’m having trouble coming to terms with that for many reasons.
Thanks.

I took my dog in just hours ago and now I'm home bawling my eyes out. I said repeatedly: I'm trying to grow his hair out (With Havanese, it's important to never shave them regardless if it can be helped) so do not take any length off of him. Do a sanitary, tidy his eyes but don't touch the top of his head or his ears. I pour hours upon hours of time into keeping his coat dematted because I love the way it feels when it's long. It's therapeutic for the both of us. He sleeps while I brush and I even occasionally braid it as well. Now he's practically bald. I am so upset.

I am an ICU nurse myself and I feel embarrassed posting this because I feel like society hold us to a certain standard so I have never shared this with anyone else. So please do not judge. I am a clean freak at work so it’s confuses me some more as to why I struggle at home
I hate cleaning so much. This is my second apartment complex and still struggling. When I was in a dorm, it would get messy regularly and I would deep clean once a month and then back to messy again (I am talking.. stuff everywhere) I made the excuse that “maybe because it’s a dorm”.. fast forward years and moved in the my first apartment and still, things would get extra messy. I made the excuse “maybe because it’s my first apartment.” Fast forward, this is my second apartment complex and it’s still happening.
Stuff everywhere. And I feel exhausted living in it. I feel anxious and stressed seeing stuff everywhere but don’t have the courage to clean because idk. It feels too much work. But I do clean. I pick one day and clear the whole apartment all day along and feel tired af later.
I don’t know if there a mental competent to this. I sat there and thought about it. Not sure if anything from my childhood had to do with it.
My mother was a clean freak. She often made me clean at inconvenient times. I am talking 11pm-1am at night and it had to be on her clock. Cleaning is my least favorite thing.
I have an amazing apartment. It’s brant new and I don’t have lot of stuff either.
I am not a hoarder. I just don’t put things back and put off washing dishes and next thing.. everything adds up and the place look mess. I put off folding my laundry for months.
I feel embarrassed and sad.
I cannot seem to know by I struggle this much with cleaning.

My partner and I are looking into buying a vacation property. One bank has asked for basic paperwork and they’ll contact the credit bureau before giving us any kind of mortgage rate. Most of our assets are elsewhere.
Is this normal? I realize that some of the bank websites advertise their rates, but it’s usually for first-time homeowners and vacation home rates might be different. And is it still “bad” if different banks make multiple requests to the credit bureau in a small amount of time or am 8 over-worrying? Thanks in advance!
Edit: In Alberta, if that matters

Husband recently left one shitty career where he worked 6/7 days a week, was never home and totally disengaged. He spent a shit-ton of our money on retraining in a new career so he had more control over his hours…only to start a job 6 months ago where he now works the same amount of hours but with a ridiculous commute. Not to mention the fact that if his work finishes after the kids bedtime, he doesn’t see the point in coming home and just slopes off to the bar or a friends. (alcohol issues are a huge separate issue) I have had to quit work since my 2nd bc finding childcare was a nightmare and my work wasn’t at all flexible around family needs (I used to get in trouble for having to pick kid up sick) so I now run a business from home while i’m with my 2.5 yr old.
I try and discuss all the time with him that I need him home more. He’s missing everything, I am burning out, the kids are frustrated and angry all the time because it’s just me and them. But every time I’m met with the usual “i’m providing for the family” BS. He always manages to make me sound ungrateful and bratty even though i’m keeping the household together (barely) and still bringing some $$ in where I can, even though he’s spending it on whatever he feels like. He acts as though i have it easy “not having a FT job” (L-O-L) and that he’s working these hours so I can stay home. How would you address this? How do you argue with someone so adamant that they are being a breadwinner that you need them home more? I have just run out of ways to tell him I can’t bring these kids up by myself anymore. I always end up feeling hopelessly guilty that he’s working all these hours, even though I know he doesn’t need to be there as much as he is. But i’m done, friends. 5am - 9/10pm with no relief, support or a second to stop and think for myself. Lately most nights I go to sleep wishing I didn’t have to wake up.

To put it extremely simply (and maybe dramatically) its because they dont just make a game, they make a world and then place a game in it. These games are almost like a simple virtual version of Westworld.

Title, I'm moving out of state in a few days. I'm a recent college grad, lived with parents throughout undergrad. It didn't make sense for me to get my own furniture, cookware, etc. since shared space. My plan was to get all the cookware, furniture, etc. I would need from my own funds since I saved a lot not having to pay rent/groceries.
The first half of the problem is my parents raised discussions about how I would get the things I need for apartment life, and when I said I would just buy some, they offered that I take the extra pots/pans/bedding/etc., and when I insisted on buying my own I got in an argument with my dad for "wasting money." I don't want to push it too hard because it'll stress out my mom/brother if I start fighting with my dad.
The second half is that I'm transgender. My parents want to be very involved in the remainder of my life and I don't want to live my life in the closet. Thus far I've maintained a balance of being out in my school/work life and closeted at home by putting off medical/legal transition, but I can't put it off much longer and that balance is going to tip; I expect I'll eventually be outed > disowned. I can't explain to my parents why I don't want to take the things they're offering me without outing myself, which would put me in a dangerous situation.
I have other queer Asian friends who've decided to remain (in part or fully) closeted to their parents and retain their support, but they're not the types of queer that require medical/legal changes. This isn't a "privilege" or "queer level" type of thing just I would have a much harder if not lethal time remaining closeted.
I don't want to rock the boat too much but I hate incurring debts. I know people here have talked a lot about thinking of AP support as loans to pay back in the future, but I don't know if I'll be able to pay it back one day (i.e., severed ties, fighting, etc.), not to mention every thing I get is just one more "loan" to keep track of, "loans" that I never wanted to take out in the first place. The items I've accepted from my parents so far are hand me down clothes, bedding/cookware that they've assured me they wouldn't use otherwise, etc. but I feel really guilty and I'm not sure if I'm in the wrong. Any input is appreciated, except any aimed at getting me to not transition. It's been a lifetime of gender dysphoria and I don't want to be easily identified as gender queer in the current political landscape.

me(m34) she(38)
for context: she is my first for everything: virginity, relationship, first child, marriage due to child, 10 years married now [me (22) her(26)] i myself have abandoment issues, addicted to video games because it was my escape from reality, trauma due to my own parents relationship problems and loss of family
i dont know how to start this so i guess...
about a month and a half ago, wife gets a body modification to get rid of her stomach she was so self conscious about, so i take days off to take care of her. during this time frame she had to go out of town for work. 1 week at a time, which has happened three times already. each time i had to get to work 2.5 hrs late for the non consecutive weeks. i had an episode where i raised voice to my wife and said that "all she does is complain. everyday thats all it is with her to complain."
a few days later, she said she went back and forth and decided that she wants a divorce. i need to "work on myself",and that she needed to "work on herslef also." not the first time we talked about this. hell the second time this was talked about i thought i was good with it, if we were to argue again that we go our seperate ways. this was back in october last year. not the case with me. i thought i was good with it, but this time i guess reality sunk in for me. my dam birthday was the next week, fcking great bday present.
damn did it hurt for her to really decide this; what made it really hurt for me was when she told me our son had asked her if she could get another place and to visit daddy. that sht woke me the fck up. dam did that sht hurt. doesnt help that she also says she is stil gonna be here, making it seem like someone didnt die. i fucking died, i felt like she just died and im trying to revive her. doesnt help the next day i begged her to give me another chance. looking back, i shouldve just gave her space.
few days go by, tried to talk to her, nope still wants divorce. my bday comes, thought i was gonna have a nice dinner by myself if my son didnt want to go with me.he is only 8 and a super picky eater. didnt spend my night alone, she decides to get me a present and cake after she takes me out to bday dinner.
i am not the greatest planner of doing things as far as going out. one of her complaints was that i never want to do anything besides being home. so mothers day comes up, i take us as a family to go to a garden after brunch. she said that was the best mothers day compared to past mothersday for her mom. at this point she says she is 50/50, wth does that mean. another two weeks go by, i ask again, this time she decides she wants to seperate now. wtf. so go ahead and make my arrangemnets to sleep in a seprate room. i tell my son its because of my snoring. i dont want him to go through what i went through in my life. her bday comes up, so i decide to do something nice for her, not jist that day, but the weekend too. this whole time, im still trying to win her back. i dont think she even misses me sleeping next to her.
now we come to today. maybe i thinking everything to fast, she needs more time, i dont know. lately ive been saying goodnight and love you's to my son and her. tonight, i go to say my goodnights, get a kiss from her. that doesnt happen, says that im smothering her. now i just dont want to do anything for her anymore. sht feels so one sided.
i dont feel loved anymore by her. im more confused though, we had sex twice, things seemed ok. i thought whatever i decided to change about me were working. not drinking as much, going to gym, paying more attention to them rather than me when i get home. hell ive been cooking dinner, washing dishes, cleaning the house, taking care of the pets ( two cats, two dogs) i never wanted since we got them which includes giving pills to the most loved dog she decided to get, even though she forgets to give him the meds, laundry, and then some. not once have i asked her for anything except for when i initiated sex the second time.
i am fucking lost and im starting to think im better of dissappearing.
end rant, i have more to say, pretty sure ive left plenty out, but im motherfckn frustrated, she does peruse reddit, just not so sure about this sub. god i feel so fcked up.

I've been seeing post about Laiwaigong (?) To prepare for Chinese drivers license in Guangzhou. What else are the other things I need to prepare for or where do I go to apply for a Chinese drivers license? I have a valid one from my home country

Hi! I’m new here in reddit & it is my first time sharing my childhood traumas in a virtual crowd of people but I know that this is my safe space rather than twitter. Nice meeting y’all! :)
I was in my fourth grade when I found out that my mother wasn’t my real mother, and then it all hits me. I experience abuse (Verbal, Emotional and Physical) at the early age of 5 years old from the hands of my “kinalakihang” nanay. At first, I thought she was just disciplining me because not gonna lie I was a bit of an annoying child back then but mostly in a funny way. I was an only child before, but then when she got pregnant with my sister, she got worse on how she treated me. Mind you, she was a Teacher in a very well known university in Manila. Fast forward to when I discovered that she wasn’t my real biological mother. I was really in shock and in pain, but I didn’t really know how deep was the cut until my step sister came, she was the real biological daughter of my step mom and my real father and I’m just the unwanted child, the outcast in the family. Our family was just small, it’s just me and my step sister.
I treated her as my full blood, i love and care for her. Since my father was already working as a seaman, he wasn’t always there even when I was still alone with my step mom. So he doesn’t know how my step mom is treating me, and back then I didn’t really understand that I was being abused already. I thought it’s just a normal way/form of discipline (because that’s what’s my step mom was telling me) so I keep on obeying all her rules, accepting her punishments, her hurtful words, etc. I remember when I was in second grade and going to school, she refuse to give me money to buy food sa school instead she will have me take I pc of boiled egg and a zesto juice and it’s going to be my food for the whole day. I don’t question her that time, I just obey everything she wanted me to do. I remember the mother of my classmate buying me food cause she noticed that I was not eating anything on our afternoon breaks (because I already ate my food on our morning breaks) and thinking about it now, i feel sorry for myself.
My lola tends to visit me every once in awhile when I was stilling living with my step mom, (my lola was the one who raised me, until my father decided to take me with him and ny step mom when they got married, i was 3 yrsold) —my lola would always notice some bruises and scratches all over my body and she would ask me what happen, I couldn’t speak cause my step mom was always watching. She told me to keep my mouth shut everytime someone will ask what happen with my bruises or red marks. My step mom will always say that i fell from running around the stairs or it’s just scratches from me playing with our dogs. I was voiceless that time. I’m scared that she would hit me harder if I say something.
My lola would stay with us for 2-3 days and then go home again to province, and then I’m alone again with my abuser. There’s this one time, that even guards in our subdivision will hear me crying and shouting out of pain when my step mom was hitting me with a hanger or a single pair of sandals. (Our house is near the guard house and just at the very first lot when you enter the subdivision gate) they knocked on our gate and ask what’s going on. The lies kept going as well as the abuse. My step mom would tell me that I’m just an accident and my father doesn’t really want me. That he just have no choice but to take responsibility because my biological mother already abandoned me. How painful is that? I didn’t know what kept me going that time. I guess I just cope up with it and tried to kept going with my life.
Fast forward when I was in college, I learned how to fight, learned how to stand up for myself, learned how to protect myself. Maybe some of you are asking “why she didn’t tell her dad” I tried, so many times. But he won’t believe me, he’s always with my step mom’s side.. So here comes college, my father was still absent. I understand that he’s working but there are times that they would hop on a video call and doesn’t even bother to ask for me. He doesn’t even ask how I am doing, am I healthy or what Im feeling. It feels like he doesnt really care about me. I remember hearing the three of them laughing while talking through vidcall and I was just there in my room. Alone.
In my second yr in college, that’s when I start being resentful towards them. I joined our school’s pep squad just to keep myself busy everyday. After class, i will go straight to out training, after doing household chores and that includes ironing my step sister’s uniform for the following school day, preparing food for the next morning, fixing my step sister’s bag, doing the dishes, buying water (drinking water) and dinner for them. My class starts at 9am and ends at 4pm and my training will start at 6pm-9pm. That’s my routine everyday just to keep me busy & sane. I will come home late (10pm) do my homeworks and sleep then wake up at 5am to prepare bfast for me and my sister and then take her to school. Her school starts at 7am and it’s just walking distance from our dormitory. Yes we are both in the same college/school. After that, i will come home and prepare myself to go to my classes as well.
I worked so hard to finish my college despite all the nagging and verbal/emotional abuse I’m experiencing that time. My professors noticed that as well, but in my mind finishing college is my only way to get out of this hell hole. I was gay btw, I’m attracted to girls, 🏳️‍🌈 I had a few relationships with the same gender back then. Well that’s another fuel to my step mom’s rage over me. She was livid when she found out, she said I am being a bad example for my little step sister. Well they put us in an all girls school (and even before I am already attracted to girls) and being in an all girls school for 4 yrs really made me realize my true sexuality.
Fast forward to my graduation, I am so excited and happy for myself. My dad threw a graduation party for me and for a second I felt that he cared for me. Not until I came out as gay infront of my whole family and relatives. My lolo and lola accepted me but they didnt. Eversince that day, I never go back to them nor their house. I never speak with any of them ever again. Then my step mom and dad messaged my lola saying that I am being ungrateful to them.
Ever since I graduated I never asked for their support, I worked hard to find a job to support myself and my grandparents. I distanced myself, & never looked back. I’m now living with my grandparents and supporting them & myself independently. Am I really ungrateful for doing so?

You come home, you sit down and tell yourself today will be a good day.
You open your laptop, and start reading up on business. As your reading you think to yourself
“I’m going to make so much money after this, this is my way out, I’m going to be rich.”
After the book you decide to start a business.
Day 1. Of launch, no sales, no clients, nothing.
You think of how much you’re a failure, how nothing works for you, how you’re not meant to become a business man, and you weren’t born for it.”
The reason why you fail, and continue to make no progress, is because you expect things.
You expect to do a good task, for a short period of time, and be rewarded instantly.
I don’t blame you, this model of thinking is all around us, with TikTok, Adult content, fast food, junk food. Instant pleasure, (or instant rewards) are all around us.
Cut your exceptions. Instead of reading up on business to get an instant result, read because it’ll make you smarter, it’ll help you level up, it’ll help you gain clarity, it’ll help you take action, it’ll help you develop a skill.
Stop wanting and expecting results,
because when you do,
That’s when they’ll never come.
