Nepotism, Entitlement, and Selling your Soul
I have always wanted to earn/build something for myself. Even when I had connections that could get me further in life because of who members of my family were, I grinded out my achievements without help.
Even when I could have taken it all on a silver platter and ran to even a MF on a swift phone call, I didn't want to be that snooty entitled shithead that nobody believes "earned" his way in. I wanted my achievements to be solely my own.
Maybe in reality I'm the naive one, but it has been eating at me for a while. The bad "What could have been?" question.
Would I sell my soul/morals chasing a mirage of happiness? Before - never, now - maybe.
My career is almost nowhere near that of what it could be after a phone call even today.
Please roast me for holding to morals in a field that disincentivizes them.
Sounds like you're being silly
Do what you wanna do, I'm sure a lot of people would've taken the easy way out and gone to that MF, but you didn't and I think that's respectable. Not because of nepotism or morals because that's a dime a dozen but because you stuck by your values. I personally believe that if someone only took the paths of least resistance in their life, are they really living?
I don't know the answer to this anymore. I was addicted to the grind, but looking back, was it even worth it?
its the respect that counts and your values count. you have strong values and keep it that way.
