Old joke.
Edgar Allan Poe was famous for his tales of madness, death, and betrayal.
One day Poe meets a friend on the street. The friend asks Poe how his day is going.
“Splendidly! I wrote two poems this morning and my publisher liked both. I gave a talk at the Literary Club and was lauded. And just now I found a $20 gold piece.”
“Wonderful! Sounds like the kind of day that makes you glad to be alive!”
“Well, let’s not go overboard.”
Damn, finding a $20 gold piece back then would be like finding a full month’s pay today.
Dont let a failure distract u from the good person uve become :3
Oh don’t worry, the good days are so far and few between now that they stick out like sore thumbs.
thank you, I needed this 💜
Of course, I never do.
2/10 meme. You need to value yourself more.

You haven’t seen my shoes and clothing. My best friend called my style ‘technohobo’.
People are starting to refer to me as The Dude
I value myself incredibly highly. How can one become a great failure without great potential to squander? 💪
“I’m a piece of garbage, but I’m the most important garbage you’ll ever meet!”
“You are the worst pirate I ever heard of”
“But you have heard of me”
I’ve got this one covered. No matter how much and how often I succeed, I still see myself as a failure.
I mitigate my personal sense of failure with a corresponding failure of society to allow me (or anyone) a fraction of a chance.
As my cat reminds me, there is no legitimate judge of success or failure: We live, until the moment we cease to live, and then we simply are not.
Sin and crime are artificial constructs of ministerial systems. If you want to worry about right and wrong, do so in context to yourself, your neighbor and your community. This is where real help and real harm occur.
Also no war but class war. We’ve nothing to lose but our chains. ACAB. Etc.
Fuck that. You rule
