the rough life synopsis i had planned out as a teenager was something like this:
> bullied nerd from small town leaves for the big city to find other nerd friends, become a successful computer programmer and find a girlfriend
the actual life synopsis ended up being a bit messier than that, and included financial screw-ups, discovering that i had #ADHD, learning that computer programming wasn't my passion, and having repeated burn-outs, trying ADHD meds for that which made me unstable, until i dropped out of the industry in 2020 at age 37 around the time that my mother died of cancer. i also didn't make that many friends or meet that many girls.
i accomplished none of the goals i had set out to accomplish and ended up in debt.
i'm also out of ideas. and this is why i'm so often tempted to drink, basically.
