It's been too many days since I published anything.
You don’t have to read this. It's fine. Really.

Hey. I hope this finds you all well today. I’ve been feeling better and therefore have not been writing. I write mostly to get something off my chest. I write to fill the voids of injustice that permeate my screaming mind. I write as it's the only power I have to change anything.

For the first time in my adult life, I am debt-free. I realize more than ever how much I hate doing anything just for money. Jobs of any kind, they all suck. I also realized that I wished I had just gotten into real estate at the age of 20. If you have the means to become a slum lord, I highly recommend it.
