We might decide to chase things we tell ourselves are impossible, and we try real hard to accept that so that it’s easy to move away from trying to... do a meaningless “chasing of the wind”.
But it’s hard to accept impossibility sometimes. Because many things, other than death, are never really “impossible”, and we’re stubborn to believe that.
Unfortunately, the more you fail on investments, the more likely you are to become conservative and only ever take your chances when things are greatly in your favor. Waiting for a perfect storm to come that’ll only happen perhaps once every 30 years (random number. Or longer). But at least in that case you have one thing still left, and that’s control. That is, letting these failures happen on your terms rather than on others or life itself. How can you continue to persevere if you begin to feel like you have no real control over your fate? We might already feel powerless but still want to have that illusion of control to feel like we can make a difference in those matters.
It’s a different philosophy from “keep trying harder”. You want to fight harder, but you don’t want to tire yourself out so much either. Pick your battles. Except, sometimes the truth is everything’s stacked against you and there are no battles you can realistically win or gain much from if you lose.
Fortunately, one doesn’t have to struggle forever. Eventually you’ll succeed, or time out. Hopefully, the first one happens first, and then the other one happens a loooooong time from then afterwards.
Tl;dr, I’m doing fine

QuoteI definitely believe it’s important to pick and choose your battles. I also believe that control is an illusion cause people tell me I can make choices then they proceed to make them for me
...Uh, doesn't that mean they have control, and therefore control isn't an illusion? ...Isn't an illusion in general I mean; in your particular case, they're casting an illusion, and they should probably stop...

When I heard the first few notes, I thought "Ba-ba-baaaa, Ba-barbara Ann!"
EDIT: I moved to one of these kinds of neighborhoods recently, and I have to say I disagree---probably because I scored a sizable condo with a two-stall attached garage after living in a cramped apartment for three years where the garages were nowhere near the actual apartment building :/

Computer suddenly went blank/crashed. I forget if personally shut it down or if it did it automatically. Turns on but no screen or keyboard actions (num/caps lock lights stay off). Might just be a video card problem? But then the keyboard... boot or video? Monitor doesn’t detect anything.

Be wary of applying for any job that says you’ll earn up to something.
Why would you want to have a typical maximum wage and then maybe not earn nearly as much sometimes
? It’s a risk.

You’ll typically make a decent amount, but usually the lower end... it depends. When I worked at Dominos as a driver they advertised $12-18 an hour based on tips. I’d usually always earn $12 total per hour, but it wasn’t uNcommon either to earn $15 am hour on tips or more if you’re lucky, or less... not usually.
Also driving expenses despite mileage they give you.
