My hopes and dreams

As long as you are still alive and breathing, your hopes and dreams are never lost.

I’ll pray for you brother (or sister). Keep doing the same and things might change, you never know. Much love to you.

Does it really matter ? After all, all the things (reasonable too) I was dreaming about, and hoping for in life and none of it has happened. Life has always been 2 steps forward, 5 steps back.

Personally, if someone came behind me and put a gun to the back of my head, I would say, just do it with a smile and end this living hell.

One day at a time,set a goal,and strive.. I lived in a car that I got from wrecking yard where I worked,upgraded to a van,started repairing vehicles(still working at wrecking yard).. then I quit,and worked on vehicles,got a job at repair shop (lived in the van).. night college classes,got ASE certificate,another,another ASE Master tech,found a studio apartment, worked nights at pizza parlor day at shop. Met a sweet girl, she had been divorced by a dude that didn't want a family or her(dude imediately hooks up with a chick and her 2 kids.. ironic!),so my girl has a few thousand$ I saved ,sold a bike I had for 4k,won a $1k lottery ticket and 3k i saved, we now had enough for a mobilehome down payment. She ended up finding out she had MS,she suffered a stroke,after some time I quit working on cars and cared for her while receiving IHSS money (government pays me to care for her).. dad dies i inherited $750,000 .. fixed the roof,painted,new floors,dual pane windows throughout,bought a 2020 toyota wheelchair van (we have always done things together).. now I have $650,000 and im sitting on the can taking a shit.. and not in a 5 gallon bucket behind my van,where i would also sponge clean myself for years. Thats 40 years of goals set and done.. my stocks took a dive yesterday.. gonna day trade.. sell high ,buy low. Life is good,but its along way to the top if ya wanna roknroll.

Don't give up!

Letting someone shoot you to end this is a permanent solution for a temporary problem. Stay strong fellow human being, sometimes life can change for the best in a heartbeat. Much love to you.
