Just got a permanent employment contract that pays more than my last one. It includes benefits and is a hybrid position, which mainly means no money spent on fucking rent - living away from my family for work - and more money spent on beautifully DRS'd GME shares.

I know that it is a tough as hell time for a lot of people right now so I don't mean for this to be some kind of humble brag because as of last week, I had been out of work for almost a year and it was the second career-grade job I had lost in 4 years, through no fault of my own.

DFV himself was out of work for 2 years straight.

What I really want to say is that even if things are difficult for you now, stay the course.
Take care of yourself. Don't stop learning, don't stop improving, don't be too proud to bridge the gap with something lesser if you have to until something better comes along. Read some Marcus Aurelius. Take breaks mindfully. Change your environment if you have to. Touch grass often. Go make friends with animals.
Keep your head on straight, don't let dark shit consume your mind, maybe pause the drink and smoke for a bit, and never give up.

In December 2020, I was a mindless X hodler. Now I am a zen as fuck low XXX holder. If this shit drags on for another 3 years, I will easily be a high XXXX holder.

Hang in there.
