But I'm pretty happy with my progress, considering the obstacles that have been thrown at me.
Ditto
I'm not happy with myself and who I am currently. That's true.
But, I also am proud that I own a house, am married, have kids, am arguably one of the best track photographers in California, own vehicles and motorcycles and guns and TVs and like actual adult things, and compared to a large portion of the world, am doing quite well despite my mental struggles. That can also be true.
And that I'm able to wake n bake and take morning shots when the mood takes me without it putting any of that at risk. Is amazingly true.
Hey 30 year ago Koi, living in a tent and trying to pull his drunk and naked mother out of the bushes before the cops arrive, how does that sound?
Like bullshit ~ 30yr ago Koi
Hey 25 year ago Koi, you just woke up at Denny's because your father is on a meth bender and you needed to sleep and get some homework done to graduate, how does that sound?

Hey 20 year ago Koi, you just became a widower and are debating the point of life. You are considering becoming a upper level dealer through a successful front, or just traveling a bit before changing careers, and maybe you'll buy a motorcycle and learn to ride, how does that sound?

I guess it's a bummer for GAJ that I don't rank on his measure of success.
My scale is different and that's ok too.
