Why is life so strange? And how does it know where to take me?

ancient Chinese secret

Strength from adversity

You are a STAUNCH CHARACTER, op.

OP is a Humble Bragger!

Enjoy your success-

Talk about a humble brag.

“I’ve got a six figure salary and drive a flagship electric luxury sedan, my gosh how did this happen?!”

Drop dead, OP.

OP = has no where to go Thanksgiving weekend, so posts here

R5/R6 The point of my post was to say that seemingly crazy circumstances can all work out in the end and it’s very confusing as to why that happens. How the fuck is that bragging? All I said is that I worked through craziness into a stable life. I’m not rich by any means. It’s not like I’m a millionaire. I’m sorry if you clean toilets at Walmart and I offended you.

Talk about tempting fate, OP.

OP shows her true colors by the 7th reply.

That faux humbleness didn't last long, R7 / OPEE

[quote] How did all of this craziness work out just right?

The Grace of God, Op. Count your blessings and don't forget to pay it forward!

What a laughable, embarrassing thread. Thanks, OP lol

You have no idea where life will take you next, OP. It's possible your luck will run out any minute.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Well. That didn't go the way he expected, did it?

Congratulations on your COCK-SUCKING SKILLS, OP.

I take it from all the nasty bitter comments that most of the people on here are scraping the bottom of the barrel. I don’t really consider breaking the 100k barrier as being on the same level as being Bill Gates but apparently most of those on DL do. Guess I walked into that one.

You make enough money that you were able to afford to buy a new life to replace your shitty original life.

It’s a good thing.

People who have messed up in life like to denigrate those who haven't. Ignore them, OP, and be proud.

Congratulations on your getting out of your childhood nightmare.

I know how that feels!! Money changes everything!!

Exactly R9. She's an unmitigated cunt. I feel sorry for her partner. Pride comes before a fall.

Good karma, OP.

OP, don't listen to these people. I'm somewhat in your same boat, I think. I was poor in my 20's and most of my 30s and found success a little later. I spent years working full time barely scraping by - slowly finishing my associate's degree, then my bachelor's, then my masters. And then suddenly I found myself living a much better life.

People who don't have any ambition and aren't willing to put in the work feel very threatened by people who do/are, and they bitterly try to drag you down. You have to remember that you aren't the norm. The norm works in a factory and scratches his balls after every Budweiser.

Destination unknown

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Op, misery coming.

It’s called putting out.

A six figure salary isn’t what it used to be OP. Particularly in a big city.

'Destination Unknown' by Missing Persons (1982):

Humble brag or not this is soooo much better than the never ending DL threads that go on and on talking about depression, stress, no hope, no future, no love, no retirement, no friends, nothing but darkness.

On the most depressed forum in the history of forums this OP is a breath of fresh air.

Now to answer.

Those who do good and make good decisions normally do better. . Those who don’t do w good are more often to fall behind and fail.

But if all is even it comes down to, do I walk down this trail or do I take that one. Life and success often comes down to which of two identical trails you picked.

A happy walk or claymore. Sometimes it’s totally luck. If all is even.

OP, your biggest mistake = posting this shit HERE

It reinforces the fact that there are some people here who are irresponsible in life (I won’t call them failures) who would say an ordinary achievement level like OP’s is somehow extraordinary. It’s somewhat above the average in income, but it’s still ordinary. It’s very doable for someone who gets a college degree and chooses the right career.

And yet so many that post here on DL don’t come close to that R33. And I don’t know why because they never say why they are crashing and burning with little income , no hope, and less retirement savings .

I want to die is not unusual to read here on these threads

Drugs, other addictions including sex, no college degree, no college degree wort a dam, mental issues, never got a trade ?

It’s got to be something other than just bad luck.

I had a friend whose life was strange. And then he died.

We would be cheering for you but there is a nasty undertone to your gosh gee how did I wind up so fortunate?! You sound phony.

But yes, I’m happy you escaped and prospered.

OP will soon suck COCKS IN HELL!!!!

Happy for you op

I agree with R38. I had a similar trajectory.
