>>228628I feel like if you're poor at one point or other you have to contend with realities of life, you slowly do, like as a kid I used to draw a mountains, rivers, hut, with me and my future wife.
Overtime, as I hit puberty, I realised, that I am an involuntary celibate, and my wife is limited to animated Disney movies, that hurt me a lot, to the point that I just constantly went around internet posting drivel about succubi and how they are heartless and lie about personality. And I was really hurt, while I still believe that, I am no longer hurt cause I don't care about them.
Same goes for being a child, as a child I was growing up thinking that I will one day own a Red Mclaren with Golden Stripes, I grew up a bit more, and I thought that Audis were cool when I reached Middle-School, in the non major metro parts of my crapholenation that was a rare sighting.
Then I came into High School and I thought man, Camry is really cool. I grew up a bit more in college, where I thought, a second-hand Corolla will be a dream come true. And of course, at this point, I am looking at what's in your currency 250USD used mopeds, about 7 years old, second-hand, pre-abused.
Sometimes, you have to do nothing but settle, maybe commies are right, when they say you are a capitalist because you dream of becoming a millionaire. I always thought it was baloney, but I was so upset that the Lexus LS was discontinued in my country, and I thought about it, I was dreaming to own a Lexus when in reality, I can't afford to move out of my parents' house.
I never got or was able to earn money to fulfil my wishes, I coped with not having a car by looking at constant reviews of cars on YouTube. Delusion is very necessary for someone like me to live, I spend consciously 5 hours of my day, day-dreaming, maladaptively, of course. About how I have a fixed life, how everything is fine and dandy and I am driving into a sunset. Cope is the fuel of heart, because reality is too brutal, too hopeless, too life-sapping.
You will be poor, you will be broke, you will eventually daydream, you will be happy.
