    Yeah. This has been true for basically my entire adult life. Graduated high school in '02 into a job market still fucked from the dotcom crash, got my theater career into gear, destroyed utterly by the GFC. Went from construction to pest control as I was looking for more recession proof work, was a season away from getting my ACE certification… Destroyed by covid-19.

    If this was it, I probably could maybe at least have a shot, but then I quit nicotine, fell while feeling sick and dizzy from withdrawal and got a TBI.

    I’ll be lucky if I get to continue living in anything remotely as nice as this little apartment I’m in with my brother.

    Honestly, almost never had a shot anyway, even without my personal issues.
