Lately life has been a bit of a bummer.
49 years old bartender with no formal education .
just got an eviction notice cause my wife and i cannot keep up with expenses. it was not always like this. i had quite a few
golden years but made bad investment choices and the consequence were going back to bartending.
having 3 kids 7,11,19 one of which starts college has made things even worse. you can immagine the rest..no
sleep,nervous,major mood swings,constantly thinking how to get out of this mess and then one day you find out your
daughters best friend..a beatiful young lady whos face radiates like the sun has a terrible tumor ! one of the worst !
after crying for a few minutes i began realising that my problems, yes are hard but it is nothing like what that poor child is
going through along with her family!
I am blessed to have 3 wonderful children and a supportive wife and knock on wood all healthy!
Please send all your positive vibe to this young lady named Gaia she will need all the help she can get
There is nothing wrong with bar-tending and your life isn't in a mess from what I read. Just think about all the interesting social encounters that could walk through the door and how you may have impacted people's lives just by being an ear to listen or speaking a few words to them.
There is nothing degrading about being a bartender, and you don't have to go to college to have a wonderful life. Perhaps with the money issue you just stepped out of your means because you weren't happy where you were at. When at 49 years old (I am 25) you should know that wealth is not measured in money or social status.
Just think and consider for a moment about all those lives you have affected. You are a potion master and the spirits you serve can help or hinder a person all depending on their perceptions upon consuming.
Have you ever considered that maybe right here is just where I need to be?
Enjoy your life and don't worry about it so much.
Best wishes to the young Gaia.
