OPINION-
Growing up in San Angelo I often felt frustrated at not being financial secure like I would have been. It was something I was cognizant of early. I would be envious of a jeep or a tundra but knew we could not afford it.
I still struggles with being unemployed, and trying to start this Substack, I sometimes feel like that no one is listening. However, I no longer feel that. I’m content.
However, sometimes things don’t go the way you want them to. There are those who gaslight you and tease you.
Before my break through, things like this would crush me. But as I’ve gone wiser, I find contentment in all i do or say. I know my intentions and I know how deal with it. You see I’m much more interested in the inside of the person than the outside because looks fade.
But still, I am so grateful and content and that’s a great feeling even if I technically am not successful by life’s standards or if I don’t have hundred of thousands followers.
In defense of Reddit
When I worked at abc in 2019-20, they were giving out Grantland mugs. Grantland is my favorite website so it was my prized possession. However since I have no car or money, I decided to give up my swag and auction it off for Tjarks on the bill Simmons Reddit. I started the bidding at 25 and it ended with 305 yesterday. Once I get the money I will donate all of it and some more of what little I have to it. Love you Tjarks.
Would you support my mission?
All of my posts are free and will be for a while, but I have a wishlist of things to help a. Freelance journalist here. I also have a gofundme. It will go to marketing, recruiting local college students and mentoring them. As well as a small stipend for me to travel back and forth to uvalde
They are here : Gofundme
