Oddbean new post about login | logout I once had a family member describe my life as a tragedy. I was like no bitch my life is a triumph. We never spoke again.
How does that even come up?

Word, I had the same exchange. We did speak again though
Sorry that happened. Keep up the good works brother.
lol, who and why would someone even say that? Without context of the individual, I find it very difficult to not assume that this person has serious insecurities about their own life decisions.
She does have a lot of insecurities. The way it came up was back when my father was dying, my aunt and I left hospice care for an hour or so to get some dinner. On the drive back we had a rather heavy conversation about my childhood. Then she dropped that line on me. Ngl it fucked me up for a few days there, but shortly after my father’s death I realized something. I am the sole author of my story. She doesn’t get a say and neither does anyone else. I changed my twitter handle to American hodl a few months later. The rest is history.
My aunty (whom I love - is too, a clueless bitch) she said the same thing, of my two younger brothers… They have been exposed to bitcoin since 2014, both have great kids and wives, whom work hard but play hard too, travelling, surfing and snow boarding extensively as a family and the general vibe of my extremely, salt of the earth brothers is high. Plus they are loved by most! My aunts kids on the other hand, are none of the above and disturbingly fought over my late uncles legacy; over his dying body! Move forward in the faith that most ppl’s finger pointing ALWAYS - bites them on the arse! Hard!! You have been the messenger for many of us 🙏💪💜
Personally I’m not seeking retribution on her or anyone and I hope her life is going well even though I don’t want to be a part of it anymore. For me it’s just about getting out from under all that bs
Yeah you are way more based than me…I sometimes still want to head butt ppl. 😅😂 There is a saying while there is vengeance in your heart - keep your tongue in your mouth! I do get turning the check to BS is way more effective for a calm charmed, life 🙌
I have plenty of head butt desire in me, too, but then somehow I manage to calm myself and rise above the situation as if I’m leaving behind those deserving souls in the shit they created.
Hahaha 😎💪🙌
There is no way, to not absolutely love all you Nostr-People 👍❤️. It’s very refreshing to be around people with healthy values.
Awww wanted to zap your post … 🙏
Damn dude. That's deep.
Fuck dude. You keep surprising me.
It hits hard when your own blood doesn’t believe in you. You don’t need people like that around. Keep going. 👊🏻
That's the type of person who needs more help.
My aunt once said that to my mother, who had me when she was 19. Did that make me the tragedy? Why did my mom tell me that story? Who the hell knows. But thanks to bitcoin, I live on an estate in the country, and I don't have to work if I don't want to. Doesn't seem like much of a tragedy to me.
I need some more haters in my life...
It’s very motivating
I had an old school Japanese professor in engineering who gave a test that had a 0% pass rate. He then begrudgingly gave us 3 days to retake the test. The instructions weren't clear, so I redid all of the questions that I got wrong. When I got the test back with those questions wrong, I went to his office hours to ask why. He then proceeded to scream at me " You do all! You are lazy!". That one stuck with me for a long time.
I hear that a lot. Everyone thinks I ruined my life by getting married and pregnant so young, and having fun being poor. Oh well.
a lot of people would call my life a failure as well. I am success though with all I overcame.
"We never spoke again" .. MOAR winning!
