my friend got dumped
did u know - i love new girl and i've watched it like 9 times
well, he said that he and his girl is on a "break"
but let's be real, that just means that they've broken up but can't deal with the reality of the relationship
i've never seen a relationship go on a "break" and actually get back together. maybe it's just me. maybe i'm being cynical.
but honestly i get the girl's perspective. she's well to do, comes from a very rich family living in the city center, earning 6 figs
my friend is a struggling insurance agent that barely makes enough to survive.
he wasn't even taxed for income in the past financial year.
on top of that, he's always spending a bunch of money on unnecessary shit
bro's monthly phone bill is $200.
instead of focusing his efforts into prospecting for clients, he's doing food delivery to get quick cash.
ok maybe he really needs to do food delivery to survive.
but if that's the case then clearly his insurance agent job that he's been doing for years isn't working out.
it's time to search for an office job. just be employed. get a paycheck.
unfortunately due to his lack of experience, there's nowhere that will take him for what he wants
but fortunately, he is open to taking some jobs that may pay him well enough to keep him afloat even if it's lower than what he thinks he should be paid for given his qualifications
he really didnt want to get a proper job but the way his gf threatened (well, not threatened she did already) really helped him make that push to get a proper job
i'm happy for him
he's been stuck here for so long, dude. it's like he's in limbo. never getting better. i very much feel the same way
everything i do is wrong, i keep bumping my head against walls.
he said that he feels like he keeps hitting the reset button on his life every few years
that really hit close to home for me.
but i'm happy to see bro finally grow. just get a job doing anything. get enough money to feel ok to relax and go home to someone he loves, go on holidays.
not scrambling trying to find clients in the day, then going home just to carry on with food delivery and STILL not have enough
so how do we grow? i guess sometimes from the pain. this time it's the pain of losing a loved one.
growing up,
