not the only “loser”. And I went to a good public school too but it feels like everyone my age just kind of crashed out. Can’t say I blame them given [gestures] everything. My old high school crush has an etsy store and makes cute little knickknacks which is nice.

No one I knew ever had their shit together at all until at least 30 years old.

I don’t bother looking up people from high school, comparison is the thief of joy.

I also don’t have any online presence so they probably have no idea what happened to me, if anyone even cared. But I’m content enough personally. Have a loving partner and can pay my bills. Just waiting on that whole communist revolution thing to happen still…
