What Happens If You Can’t Achieve a Single Goal?

It’s easy to say, “Oh, it just takes one person to believe in you”.. It’s this long rope. “I’ll do this until this happens”. It’s easy if money is your goal, but you can’t buy a great conversation.

The second time, I was being ignored, but finally paid.. Same shit the third time. WEEKS! I didn’t say anything until I had had enough. When I sent another reply of, “If you say something, do it” and I received a response and the $20 immediately. Why does it have to come to that? This substack is dedicated for the homeless with no voice. If I had a suit on, there would be no delay, no games, no ignoring, no bullshit. So I exited the group, which means no more money, but I’m not for sale.
