5 years ago, I was digging out of the snow. 3 days my mother and baby brother were stuck at the top of the hill while the car was at the bottom. The middle brother had left for California and father was in Africa, burying his mother. I had quit my very nice dishwashing job in anticipation of traveling overseas to see her one last time. Things didn't work out that way and I was at home, helping family with the grief and consoling the baby brother that never got to meet her. I was surfing the web when I took my mother's advice and found a different path than the one she recommended and found myself with a warehouse temp agency that gave me a great deal of money to make me happy.
To this day I am still stirred to a deep and white hot anger over the fact that my youngest brother was denied the unyielding and unjudging love of his grandmother due to the violence in my father's birth nation, then I consider how many other children were deprived of that love, and then deprived of that history and stories and legacy that love brought along with it. It reminds me of how much of my past was taken away and how much work I have in my future.
I tried watching the second one but I was tired and there's awkward pauses between every single line so I fell asleep
yeah the first one was fun but they decided the director was having too much fun and not treating the series with the dignity it deserved so they replaced her with someone totally by-the-book
Long story version: Five years ago I was 26 years old and living in California. I had just recently left my dick of an ex, my job and my apartment and had moved back in with my mother who was in failing health. My brother and I were close even though he was in Washington aboard the Stennis. I was looking for a job and was fairly unhappy since I no longer had friends in the area. Later that year I got a job working in a candy store as an Assistant Candymaker. I loved my job, had made new friends and had found someone that I thought loved me.
What I didn't know is that in just a few months I would be losing my job when the store closed, that my mother would be passing away, the house we lived in would be foreclosed on, I would be evicted, my brother and I would become estranged, the guy I thought had loved me would turn out to be a lying psycho, go through two different assaults, I would discover two half-brothers I had never met before and that I would end up moving to the East Coast and begin a nomadic lifestyle. No exaggeration.
Five years later I have survived a lot. I just moved, yet again, but this time back to the West Coast. I'm living not even an hour from Seattle, where I've wanted to live for over 6 years. I have friends, in fact I'm living with my best friend. I don't have a job right now, but am looking. I'm actually pretty damn happy because even though my life turned completely upside down and there were times I didn't think I'd make it - and I have to start over yet again - I'm where I want to be living, with friends that love me and I have survived so much. It's shown me just how strong I can be.
There are things that I wish had never happened. But they did. So instead of wasting my time hoping they hadn't, I'm moving on and making my life worth something. Even if I have to start all over at the bottom at the age of 31.
Or, the short story version? Yeah, I was probably masturbating in my room at this exact time 5 years ago

Five years ago, I was living on my own and had an amazing girlfriend.
Randomly she moved to Washington, and at the same time the people I was living with got a divorce. I moved in with a friend of a friend for a few months, sleeping on a futon in the living room of a one bedroom apartment. Things were okay for a while.
I just could not keep up on my bills, became an alcoholic, and had sex with random unattractive women. So I moved back home with my parents. I wasn't able to get my shit together for a year or so. Still drinking like a fish, still having random sex.
Almost three years ago, I found someone who changed my life and got me on the somewhat right track.
Five years ago I was wrapping up my last semester of college, getting my bachelor of science in Comp Sci, and wondering how the fuck I was going to get a job with literally zero networking done or contacts made of any sort on my part
Took a year and three months, been working there ever since
im trying hard to get some kind of motivation to succeed in life aside from 'i have to get away from living with my dad'
Motivation: Have a better life.
Seems like pretty good motivation.
