Hey folks, 24 year old side-walker here with some fastlane tendencies. I've been been lurking on/off for a couple months, delighted to make your acquaintance.

Super condensed bio to avoid boring walls of text
- 2014/15 - Started college, saw it for the Shitshow it really is. FOOTBALL-FOOTBALL-FOOTBALL, fat is healthy, ugly is beautiful, white guys are evil, trigger warning, safe-space, ect. It seemed more like an ideological ponzi scheme than a place for learning.
- 2016 - Failed out due to gaming addiction, shyness and self-esteem issues. I had horrible skin lesions, looked like I had leprosy or smallpox. People on the street would avoid me, their reactions were either pity or disgust. I tried every cream, balm, prescription medication, none of it worked. I realized if I wanted to get better I'd need to become my own doctor and take personal responsibility for myself. Diet change and exercise cured everything except the scars.
- 2017/19 - Got a job working in oil exploration (seismic drilling). This blue-collar work was far away from the "intelligentsia" of college. Work was brutal and dangerous but paid well and built up my self-worth. Stopped gaming and alot of other BS destructive habits during this time. Slowly but surely technological innovations and BS corporate politics meant less and less work.
- 2019 - Got my feet wet buying/selling instruments and audio equipment. Honestly I didn't know what I was doing and profits were marginal but I learned alot. Surprise, surprise the platform I was using started changing their policies and my side hustle became unprofitable (commandment of control anyone?). I started some other ventures but EVENT and PASSION based thinking killed my momentum. I was screwing around on Youtube when I came across MJ's videos and it was like a lightbulb went off! It took me awhile to really digest these ideas, lots of action faking but i'm starting to see changes in my life.
