Mild. Massive hiring freeze in my area, meaning no sweet blue collar job to buy my first AR before the inevitable pre-Hillarystartstalkingontv price increase.

My collection of /k/ related books is wonderful and I've had time to catch up on a lot of doctrinal and logistics related works.

Still working out and getting ready for that fateful day when I meet with my local AF recruiter.

>>30233540
I have to work this weekend. Got farmer's market duty which sucks, means I have to harvest all day tomorrow in Texas in June instead of driving a tractor. But that's extra hours for my AR build.

IM FINALLY OFF MY ANTIDEPRESSANT! Really excited about that, taking that and making it the silver lining. Any other /k/ommandos stuck working this weekend?

I just put another six gallons of delicious nutritious Belgian ale up and pitched the yeast in not fifteen minutes ago. Plus the weather is unseasonably breezy and cool instead of the inside of a fucking oven like it usually is. The tomato plants are growing like fucking weeds and the weeds are pulled. I have money for gas, ammo, and storebought beer until the real stuff is ready. So not bad, all in all.

It's a long story... To make it short, she was going through a divorce, and she out of nowhere started feeling guilty, and went back to him after they did counseling so a judge wouldn't throw their case out. He never came around on the reason she was divorcing him. She's going to be miserable. She was telling him all about us today. I texted her telling her I just wanted to say I hoped she could be happy after today, and she said nothing.

She was the only person I've ever said "I love you" to, besides my parents. She was also the first time I ever made love, at the age of 21. I'd been in a weird sexless relationship before, and knew plenty of other girls well, and this was the first time I'd ever actually felt like I was happy in my life, and everything was "checked off" with her in what I wanted.

We had our plans for our house, and the garden in the back. She was going to grow vegetables and herbs in a huge garden in our backyard we'd have, which would have a path around it, lined with fruit trees trained to grow into a sort of archway over it, and we'd walk the path after dinner like her family did in Europe every evening.

I keep picturing us walking that path, with the sun streaking through the trees onto her face while we hold hands, and our planned 4 or 5 kids running out of the house playing while we hold each others' hands tighter.

Sweet.
And yes, I work every weekend, it's supposed to be in the 80's-90's tomorrow.

But here's to things working out.

>>30233540

I've rotated off of active duty back into National Guard life and I'm hunting for a job. LEO and armed security being my best bet.

I'm bored out of my mind, living in a (nice enough) double-wide with relatives and paying my way.

I'm bored. I spend about 50% of my time job-hunting and 50% working out.

I've been back for about a month.

I've got a crazy family situation on like three fronts and I'm generally unenthused.

But I've got some nice guns, a reliable car, decent job prospects, there's healthy food aplenty and beer in the fridge. I've got some good supps that let me go beast-mode.

Once I get stable employment again, I'll start shooting and hunting more and hunt up something that's more than just a fuck.

And I get to be a father-figure for two of the kids in my family when they need it most.

It could be worse. Just looking forward to my 2017 deployment opportunities.

The divorce was supposed to be moving along just fine. We even had a friend who's a big-shot lawyer say he whole-heartedly endorsed the situation, and would argue for it to anybody.

Then it all took a turn out of left field.

Almost a year ago I lost my eye and my commission. Surprisingly I'm doing pretty well. All you /k/ommandos out there wondering if life is worth it, it is a wonderful thing. Cherish it.

Im not a robot, ive had plenty of one offs with women, but literally the only woman ive ever loved walked back into my life after 3 years. a week later, i left for three week anual training. she stopped texting me back and snapchatting me. i went on a week long bender, i sent her some r9k tier bullshit.

ive dropped out of college, i work a basically minimum wage job, my father will literally not talk to me. the only pleasure ive felt in the past month was riding in the back of the bradley, jumping off the ramp and fucking shit up. once the adrenline burns off, back down the hole

>>30233730
She told me many times that when she was with me, she was legitimately happy for the first time in over a year. I've had some bad times in my life, but this week has taken the cake.

I'm not a nogunz now, and am still alive. So that's something. I was always concerned about how I'd manage in a situation like this before I had guns.

Gf of six years and I are planning on getting married this summer. Unfortunately, her parents are Catholic and I'm reform Jew, so it's not a sacrament for me to marry their daughter, who is a staunch atheist and has not told her parents this out of fear that they will not let her see her family again which is a big family because Catholic. We had plans to move in together, but she didn't want to disappoint her parents by living in sin. I can't technically get married in a Catholic Church so that might complicate things, I think she just needs to be honest with her parents but she doesn't want to go down that route just yet and I'm not going to push her. For now, I'm going to move back into my dad's house he does not know that I own guns so moving a giant as fuck safe into his house might get... wierd. He's not agaisnt them or anything, he just thinks I am poor (I just got an Aug a3 m1) and I hide the fact I have a liquor and gun collection from him. The wife to be is going to move in with her parents till we both get married and we can live together on our own. Still gotta tell her really nice mom and dad that I have no plans to raise my kids Christian.

Not bad. Kinda tired from a long day at work, but out on the town with my friend and her hot last friends. One is into me, I can tell. Breddy sweet

The worst part is, we were talking about this garden pathway barely more than a week ago.

Anons, please hold me... I don't really have many friends left anymore, and none of the ones left really get it, anyways. She was the only person I could turn to over the time of us being best friends that *ever* just understood me. It hurts so bad, I don't want to be lonely like I've been the rest of my life. I know she still loves me, but she's going with this because he was her first commitment. I still don't understand.

>>30233825

>>30233863
While I feel very sorry for you, this is something you should have thought about before you got involved with a married woman. Divorce or not.

You should take some time to understand and love yourself before someone else will.

Either way, fucking sucks finding then losing love. I've been there. Takes every bit of strength I have in me to not contact my ex who I know is in a loveless marriage that will be divorced in a year or two but it feels really good to work on myself. I hope you find a way to do that.

the girl I dated in high school (my first and only real GF) who I genuinely thought I was over is apparently dating somebody new and it stung a little. not only that but the fact that it bothered me at all sucked because I thought I was over her. I thought at get a relationship before her so now I just feel..I dont know,left behind? Like everyone else is getting more social than me.
this girl Ive been flirting with at work is back with her on again, off again BF after she assured me he was her ex. so that didnt go anywhere. This same girl is going on a "date" with a co-worker of mine from the same work who is a legit weeaboo. Speaks japanese from the anime he's watched and all. it sounds shitty and while im nothing to brag about I thought I was a little better than that at least

I keep checking my apartment door. Thinking maybe she's going to be there with tears in her eyes. In my vision, I hear a loud knock at the door, jolt up and grab my pistol and pocket it, look through the peephole, and it's her. I open it, and she says "He said he wouldn't take me back... I wouldn't blame you if you said the same..." and I say "You underestimate how much I love you" and just hold her.

I sat all day fantasizing about this and just holding her on the couch after that. It didn't happen. I'm sure she's in bed by now. With him.

I don't know if I can do it, anons. I finally thought I was going to be happy, for once. Now I'm back to my life looking like it's going to just be a bleak few decades of me alone, pooling money with no purpose, no love, and no kids, until I die of cirrhosis. I'd even quit drinking during the week, and quit smoking all together, when I was with her. She made me want to be better.

It was a sure deal at the time. I confessed my feelings when it started, and she reciprocated. She came over to just hang out, make dinner, and watch Firefly. I made no moves on her, and next thing I knew, we were making love. It just happened. I even told her I was afraid we were moving too fast.

I was self-improving for a while, and was doing really well when I was with her, as I said in my other post >>30233914


Not so much, anymore. I was lifting before we were together, but broke my arm, and I still don't think it's ready to get back to that. I don't think I'd want to, anyways. I was lifting because I wanted to be better for her, because this divorce was a long time coming, and I wanted to impress her.

Been better. I had a really good past 2 days all of which went down the drain when I found out an RC tank I sold on ebay got destroyed and I'm gonna have to go to the post office tomorrow to get my $200 insurance on it and refund the buyer what I can.

Whoever said It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all, was a fucking hack. The visuals we had of the future together makes it all the worse. She's basically "dead" in my life. She said I'll probably never ever hear from or see her again. I asked her just to text me once in a while and tell me she's ok, and I wouldn't even have to say anything. I just wanted to know she's alright. That's when she stopped replying to me.

I miss my days of being an /r9k/ poster. She was my chance of a lifetime.

>>30233540
I'm okay. Making decent money at my job, playing MTG and vidya with bros more often, went shooting for my second time last week and have a week long hunting trip planned for end of next month.

On the downside, 7-8 months of crippling loneliness after being dumped while I was broke. Still trying to cope,self confidence is shattered because I put on a fuckload of weight (used to be skeltal, now am chubby mode) and can't seem to find a girl that I can talk to as more than a friend.

Nothing I'll kill myself over, but just a nagging sense of self doubt that eats at you every day.

Haven't been shooting in months. We keep losing cooks, and there's so many restaurants hiring that we can't replace them. I've been working with two/three days off a month.

The overtime is great for buying fun things, I'm looking at reloading setups to buy, but I've literally no time to use any of them.

I'm doing fine health wise I suppose. Kitchen life and general apathy is making me fucking fat however. Unlimited free food is a viscous temptress.

I feel you. My grandmother died a few days before my 22nd birthday, I decided not to go to Ohio for the funeral because I drove there from Texas a month before to say my goodbyes when she was in her nursing home. It was hard, mentally she was all there, but physically she couldn't be awake and aware for more than a few hours a day. So I got her food from her favorite restaurants in town and we both understood it would be the last time she'd eat it. Then we'd watch sports together because she's a huge baseball fan. She bought a new recliner for her room for my visit because she knew I loved napping in recliners like my grandpa who'd been dead for 15 years.

Fuck. Feels out of nowhere. It gets better anon, I'm flying up there next month to visit her grave and lay a plate of lasagna from her favorite Italian place and a Cleveland Indians cap to say a final goodbye.

You know what, I'm going to add the saga of the one eyed /k/ommando to this because I never let this out.

I lost a childhood dream on June 27, 2015 at 2:20 in the afternoon. I spent three years at a military college, became one one of the top cadets there, only to loose it all in an afternoon.

I graduated from that school on time regardless of my medical standing. But I remember watching the commissioning ceremony very well. It was bittersweet seeing all the friends I've struggled with going off into the Army while I stay behind a freak. Look up quotes by Moshie Dyan to put it in perspective.

It's hard. I want to go fight, serve a platoon well, but I never will. That is a fact I have to deal with and it is humbling. I envy those who get the privilege of leadership in the army.

Bored AF at the moment
I dont even have it that bad. I have friends, family who care about me, let me live rent free at home for school, are perfectly cool with me having guns and dont look down on me for it. I have a part time job I dont exactly hate but it pays very well.
No GF, not exactly sure of what I what to do in life but I have an idea, I feel like a dick complaining about the usual gripes I have compared to other people. I will say im just bored though, I still feel like im sixteen even though I just turned 21. I go to work, I go to class, Ii come home and pay video games and maybe go hang out at a friends house. I have the same life I did in high school and it bothers me. Sometimes I hate it and see others my age doing much more, then I feel comfortable and get scared thinking about leaving even though id never admit it. Im starting to get more comfortable with the idea of staying in my home town for the rest of my life where I know everybody and its safe and its really starting to freak me the fuck out

That's very true, and I do love her. I just wish things played out better, her college was govt money and mine is pulled out of somewhere. IT feels like she is trying to force my hand; she really wants to live with me. If I didn't know she understood my situation, I would think she was trying to force me to take her in.

I'm taking a summer Geology course that involves a lot of field work, and next week I'll be waking up at 5:30 every day to go on field trips all over the state. It'll be interesting, but pretty tiresome by the end of the week.

I just want to finish my associate's and move on to a trade school. Everyone is too busy 'following their dreams' and not looking for opportunities in the skilled trades. I'm going to try out surveying and electrical work first.

I know she still loves me. She told me we were there for each other when we had emotional needs that needed to be filled, and that's why we were such good friends, and eventually lovers, and that she has to "teach" her husband how to fill her emotional needs. I told her the fact that we needed that said a lot. She told me she can't talk to me ever again, because she can't have me being the one that's her emotional needs filler. And she told me it wasn't that I wasn't good enough, it was that she felt her actions were at odds with her morals, and he was her first commitment.

I just wish she would tell me how today went.

I'm also a little worried. We did the deed unprotected. What if she has a kid? What if it's mine and I'm not part of its life? ;-;

I had a screaming match with my dad about a month ago over this same thing. He wants me to stay close to home "because thats how families did it back in the day" and I have to explain its not 1965 and there is zero opportunity in this town aside from mom and pop stores and installing comast
its going to be scary but playing it safe is much scarier IMO. theres nothing wrong with staying local if you want but doing so because youre scared is a bad idea

Road washed out from floods, can't make money because of it right now, hot as shit during the day, can't see at night, I'm lazy because it is humid and hot, I need a better job, most of family sucks, no friends, the government is managed poorly other than that..... life is not too bad. Lots of land to fuck around on, cattle, bad ass guns, been driving in alot of mud lately.

Well, the only range I know of is an honour system one, out in the sticks - but I really don't know or understand where rural areas start that you can shoot in, so I don't want to net myself a fine I can't pay.

Other reason is, I always went shooting with my family growing up, and friends as an adult. I know I really need the practice though. But it just kinda feels like going out to dinner or the movie by yourself kinda thing.

>I lost a childhood dream

Fuck. I spent 35 days at Ft. Benning. That was my "military career." Wanted to be a soldier my whole life. Finally sacked up and decided to do it. Got a ship date 4 days after I graduated college. I spent 6 months getting back into shape, reading up and memorizing all kinds of stuff so I wouldn't be a total retard when I got to basic. All that, to have it swept away cuz I got sick as fuck right after I got to Benning. Found out I had Ulcerative Colitis.

Now 4 years later, i have no colon, I shit in a bag, have a degenerative liver condition that came from the colitis, a well paying job I fucking hate, and I think about killing myself every day.

So many degenerates in the military. So many able bodied people unwilling to serve. I felt I would make a damn good soldier, and I can't even fulfill my simple dream. My body has failed me, and is still trying to take me down. I hope I get cancer or my liver fails sooner than expected so I can just let it finish me off. Fuck this life. I want it to end.

We couldn't actually go OUT anywhere without bringing one of her brothers along. It was a HUGE deal when her mom finally let us go eat at a pizza place or McDonalds by ourselves (better be pretty fast about it, though!). We managed to go out to the movies or sneak off to fool around a few times by having one of her older brothers cover for us (they were married and understood what Mom was like, so my gf would tell her mom she was going to one of their houses to study or use the computer or something and instead meet up with me somewhere.

I'm feeling pretty damn great. I'm living at home and work a job making bank. Saving up for a new truck.

Lately I'm a bit worried whether or not I'll stay here for a while. Live in a really small town in CA buttfuck nowhere, so can't really meet new people or do anything big. It's a nice sleepy town, but eh. I at least wanna work a few years at my current full-time job because it's cushy as hell and the people are great, but I dunno, thinking of moving somewhere where there's more happening, but not too far away. Also somewhere with less horrible gun laws and less fucking snooty old people.

How's Nevada everyone? I crossed Oregon off the list because apparently thats becoming a hipster mecca. Forests look nice though.

>>30234740
Apparently they got a lot of shit before for being fearmongering, but yeah now they're great. Highly recommend Classic. I got my K31 and M39 from them and haven't been disappointed in the least.

If you never forget about her, it's because you really loved her and that's something you can always cherish. She'll always be with you wherever you go, in heart and memory and that's one of the great burdens and joys of love. Live the life you know would make her proud as though she were always watching you but don't let the memories of the past weigh you down.

No one will expect you to completely move past this moment, in fact we don't ever move past the loss of those we love. We hold them in hearts, that's why the expression "A heavy heart" is a thing. But as time goes on the pain will subside and you'll find yourself retaining the good times and memories you shared together. That is the strength of love. Use those memories when you need inspiration the most but don't get bogged down in them.

They're a jolt of motivation but a quagmire of regret if you let them grasp hold of you. Take it one day at at time, it's been 5months and you're still with us. The first year is the hardest, then second almost as hard, the 3rd is a bit more manageable but still hurts like hell. Each year past that hurts a little less, like a you're carrying an measurable weight on your shoulders that gets lighter the farther you walk.

That's the key man, don't stop moving forward. Too many people tether themselves to the past like they're chained to a post, or they back track and try to find a past that isn't there anymore. Keep going forward, whether you walk a mile a day or just a few feet. Don't ever look back, there's nothing there. Look inward, that's where she is, where she'll always be. She was strength then, and she still is now.

Plus, you've got us. We're /k/ommrades, brother.

Move to Oregon or Washington. We could use some more pro-funz people.

>>30234871
Oregon's pretty nice looking, I just heard that Portland's becoming a real shithole. Either that or it was always a shithole. I love the weather and the knife laws, I just worry for its eventual gun rights in the future.

>>30234858
>Apparently they got a lot of shit before for being fearmongering
So raising their prices accordingly before the shit show? I get the idea of being mad but hell if I owned something like Classic I'd do the same thing. Shekels are shekels.

>>30234852
I thought it was all said and done, and just a legal formality left to go. Had I known this was in the cards, I would have held off telling her my feelings. Even with how things went, I voiced a couple of times I was worried we were moving too fast, and should be careful.

>>30234897
Nah. They used to do shit like sell dragoon M91s and yell "THESE ARE THE LAST IN STOCK NO MORE SHIPMENTS HURRY HURRY BUY BUY" for 12 years with no dip in supply. A mild issue that I don't really care about, but some people got really adamant about it. Still not nearly as bad as CTD.

>>30234890
Portland's always been it's own weird thing for as long as I can remember. The biggest change are the skyrocketing real estate prices that don't correspond with increased job growth. Washington and Oregon have that whole rugged individualism thing going on which makes me hopeful for our gun laws. Portland's a good city tho, and has great cultural institutions and a shit ton of stuff to do.

Life is a bitch, if it were easy it'd be a whore.
>Words of wisdom I saw scrawled on an Ammo Can in Combat Training

But seriously, life is merciless and will beat you til you're on the ground and keep beating you. There's no rhyme or reason, no bargaining and no relief. Life will strike you at your weakest and your strongest. Flip your life upside, burn it to the ground and piss on the ashes while you sit there trying to make sense of what just happened.

This is a fact we all come to know sooner or later and there are only two things we can do man. We can give in, accept the sad cold hard truth that the Universe genuinely does not give a fuck about a single Goddamn one of us and takes not notice of our lives, we are but a tiny speck not even registering in the vast cosmos of eternity.

Or, you can can back up, spit the blood in your mouth right back in life's eye and say "Fuck you, I ain't quittin." And get right the fuck back on the road you were headed. Don't like that road, pick another one. Life will always being waiting for you down any path you take looking to fuck your shit up at a moment's notice, but one thing you learn about life as you get older, the distance between each encounter with life grows further apart the longer you walk the road. If you keep on walking, and don't ever stop, don't ever give up, don't fucking look back, but keep on going forward you notice that life fucks with you a little less.

Maybe not always, maybe sometimes you get your ass handed to you nonstop, you don't even get a breath in between the beatings the cosmos give you, but the longer you fight, the longer you stay in the game, the harder life has to fight to keep you down. The more you strive to succeed, the farther you walk in life, the more you do to better yourself, the more prepared you are when life comes around looking for a rematch.

Been working hard to move to a better non-blue state, $15k so far, happy about that. could probably drop everything and go tonight if I really felt like it with that kind of cash and that is really comforting. Getting 2-3 new guns this summer and upgrading my PC. Going hiking with my girlfriend on Sunday. Over all pretty happy OP, hbu?

>>30234950
I needed this, anon. Thank you.

Alright, though a little intimidated.

I have a great opportunity to escape California and move to Utah. Making okay money for the area, all while finishing up my education and getting my BS degree in GIS.

Problem is, I don't know anyone in Salt Lake City, and it's an 8 hour drive. I'll be incredibly far away from my family and truly on my own without any form of support.

I've had a few nights where I tossed and turned over it. My family is not leaving California anytime soon, so I'll be completely on my own. Something that I've never done before.

But, I am excited at the prospect of buying any gun I want, at any point I want, and not having it neutered by bullshit laws. I'm also excited about the access to the Wasatch range and great outdoorsy stuff. Also excited about living in a cooler climate, and a cheap cost of living.

So, that's how I am holding up. Nervous, but excited at the same time.

>>30234950

Need to shop Side 3 in place of America there

Not great. My boss is a juvinal slacker. My sister just got arrested because she is crazy and probably doing drugs. I'm worried about her boys, they shouldn't have to deal with her crap or their fathers anger at them because of her crap. They should have a place to sleep and good food. Not worring what the hell their mother is doing and how they are going to eat. My wife thinks my sister just needs some tough love and she'll figure out not to do that. I know that it isn't that simple. She isn't rational, she is bipolar. As she fucks up more the more stress she'll have and put on herself and she'll just do more crazy shit. I may end up dealing with a 40 year old bipolar drug addic in my life. Thanks for listening k, I needed to talk to someone outside of the whole thing.

it's mostly (especially) girls and to a lesser extent other people around my age range.
I'm just way too paranoid about being hurt/betrayed by people, it's happened to me several times and every time I let my guard down I get destroyed.
I have literally rejected girls because of this, or unintentionally hurt them emotionally because I totally spill my spaghetti.
I wouldn't wish actual paranoia/social anxiety on anyone.

I'm in a bit of a rut.

Make that rut uphill, and also slippery. I try to take a step forward and slide on two steps back. I give my all to move up in my career and every tiny fraction I claw up, the government, taxes, cost of living/economy takes tenfold. At every turn I do everything I can to escape the dying town I was born in, and at every turn I lose everything and crawl back to a sorry corner. The dreams of success, the goals of having bare minimum are snuffed not only by life and country, but by existential dread of the pointlessness of my existence.

I don't know if I'm going to make it.

want to get some vengeance (Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies)
decide a suicide attempt would be the best gilt trip
antecedently hang self from door knob
get found coma from lack of o8
wake up later that week
its just a prank bro

gather up some duct tape and garden hose
drive out to forest in ford ka
tape hose to exhaust then secure other end in top of window (carbon monoxide sinks)
send angry texts to ex gf bout her not being around
die

take comfort in knowing that no matter how bad things seem now it always gets worse
but on the other hand you have nothing to loose (so you think)
and can be motivated to pursue the chance that things can get better
(recall that hope is the last to escape from pandora's box)

Been with this store for two years, started the day after I graduated high school.
>started as a bagger
>became grocery clerk under shit circumstances with management
>became cashier under just as shit circumstances with management
>went back to grocery under better circumstances with management
>fucked off back to cashiering under the worst circumstances with management
>they asked me to come back to grocery and told them to fuck off
my post high school life is a fuckin mess looking back on it.

Been working towards this slot for like 6 months, they've never given me my shot because of "consistency" until last week.

Also my favorite part
>$10.25 an hour after 2 years of fieldniggering around
>no mention of a raise after being told they're making me a supervisor

I fucked up by moving to Alaska with a woman that isn't good for me. Now I'm job hunting in a state with no friends and a bitch girlfriend who doesn't put out(I'm being nice) and I have money to change being a no funz but I won't spend until I have a job.

I don't really feel like there's much of a point to anything anymore.

I mean, I'm not going to blow my brains out, too messy and everyone around me gets hit hard by it.

I just wish I was someone else.

You're doing better than I am. I just hit $10.26 an hour after four years of being the stores bitch. I'm desperately trying to find a new job now, as I absolutely will not go through another back-to-school season again. Hopefully the new movie studios in town will start hiring soon.

Shit will get better eventually, just gotta work at it.

I am about to tell you something you may not like.

They say that God is God because he has direct and total control over your life. But if that is the only criteria for being a God, does that not make you your own God? Life may throw shit at you, but you decide how you act in the face of it, and nobody else. Be your own God, make your own miracles.

Currently feeling all hollowed out. No drive to do anything besides work, lift, play vidya, and fool with my gf. I've recently been finding it harder to bottle up my emotional issues, what with all this stress and probable depression from having tanked my first year of uni. I am more often breaking into fits of rage, or sobs, or both over slight things that normally wouldnt set me off 2 years ago, when I wasn't as much of an emotional mess. I've gone whole weeks just thinking about pulling my gun on myself or chugging pills but... well I honestly don't know why I didn't just do it, maybe because I'm really being hit by the sads at this hour and it's clouding up my thoughts, who knows? I just want this fucking miserable rollercoaster to end, hold me.

I'm just waiting for my college to start monday, the god emperror to take office, when I can vote for the god emperror, and when I can get my driver's license, since the state is fucking me wherever they can in my quest to get my license.

sad, just sad. My family is No guns, specifically my father.
>I have never handled or fired a gun until recently, because I wasn't aloud.
>spent countless hours maintaining or modding my guns to later be shit on by my family "waste of time" "evil" they say
>I will never spent quality time with my father on a gun range
>I went on my first hunt by myself
>first buck by myself
>learning everything about guns, because I have no one to guide me
>I get on here and hear all the stories and memories, how they had guns at a young age, my grandpa gave me this or my dad bought me this etc. etc. (I never had a BB gun until I turn 18)
what really saddens me the most is that they will never accept my hobby, no matter my grades, how responsible I am with money,bills, work. even if I were to somehow make money of it. they would still demonize it

I miss my ex, I know its pathetic but she was the one thing that made life worth living, when I was with her I didn't feel as depressed or feel like shooting myself as much. I never really had alot of friends so I don't have anyone to talk about it with. I guess this is what I get for letting someone in

Gave two weeks notice on my job a week ago and my boss has gone into superbitch overdrive with as much work as she can squeeze in. I quit because she doesn't communicate what she wants, so this has been one of the shitter weeks in my life. Stress plus not sleeping defnitely fucked me in my head and it's already strained my relationship with my GF since she's started another round of "minor" (ie: bad but not hair-falling-out near death experience bad) chemo last week, which fucks her up pretty good for a solid month.

Good news is that I'll be free by next Friday, but shit, what do I do now? Got savings and probably going to go for some part time stuff at least, but I've got to figure out a plan long term. I definitely failed hard at the job that I'm finishing, so now I feel like I have to start all over again in terms of finding something that pays the bills and that doesn't make me want to kill myself.

And all you guys dealing with way worse, stay strong. Don't be afraid to look for help if you need it, event if it's just venting on /k/. Don't look for permanent solutions to temporary problems.

Get on Tinder and just go out with some girls. Seriously. Go to a museum or buy them a shake and a hamburger or something. Don't think of it as anything other than doing that one particular thing with a random person. Maybe that's all it will end up as, maybe it will end up being more.

But it won't hurt to try.

Dad's in the money business, and is predicting a massive market crash this year. I'm going to make a load of money from it, but so many others will suffer. I feel pretty sad about it sometimes.

>>30234931
Ii know that feel all to well
Be happy you kept college friends that long. After my first year half of my new social group either dropped out or moved back home. that last 2 years have been meh, not terrible but not that crazy college experience I had wanted. Now im going back home becuase of the debt and I get to run into all my all friends who never did anything with their lives and I feel like im joining them
my advice is start making early plans for the future, even it its just window shopping apartments. its enough to get me by for now

I got a crackhead cousin in Florida with 4 kids from different fathers.My aunt is an alcholic who travels back and forth and generally makes life worse where ever she goes. Last month I had to go with my dad to save her form her abusive boyfriend and drive her shitbox car through the city with all her garbage in it. As shitty as it is to say I really dont feel anything for them. I feel bad for them and want to help but Ive met them once and its a side of the family we dont talk about. My poor grandparents have to deal with it more then anyone though

its really circumstantial. where you live, the need for said trade, how good you are at it and how good you are at running your own business. Im an electrician and do small odd carpentry jobs and I make enough to support myself and by some luxuries. Im not fabulously wealthy but Ive got money. Im my own boss, I pick the jobs I want, I have a few solid guys working with me
But, this means im in charge of everything, I sometimes have to pick up jobs I dont want for the money and then chase the people down to get said money. I live on the outskirts of a city so there opportunity but not a lot of competition

Id say I have it fair. Not many people consider all the other stuff when thinking about doing this
