How lucky I am and how unlucky Ive been
How lucky I am and how unlucky I`ve been
I just wanted to write a post about how lucky I feel to have become a part of this community and all it gives.
I keep reading all your Bio`s and it strikes me how hard many of you are struggling just to keep your heads above water and how lucky I am.
I have all my expenses and then some+++ already covered by the Norwegian welfare system, I live in Spain where my disability pension is huge compared to the prices here vs Norway.
(I have about 4x the amount a normal pension for a Spaniard)
I am already kind of "rich", I never have to look at a price tag in the food store, I have a huge house w/ 3 bedrooms and 2 baths walking distance from the beach, I have a car....I have everything I need.
So I have something many of you lack...time, I have time. I have few distractions like kids or family either, so I can really immerse myself in this.
The new way
I have had a very hard life, alcoholism, drugs, murders, suicides, brutality and just pure stupidity have been a trait in my family for generations. I was the first one in our family to ever even finish ordinary school, let alone get a university degree.
I have also been to prison for 3 years on a drug charge in Norway, as I got caught up in all this. the cover picture was my home.
(Guess where I was set to work in the prison...yep, the greenhouse)
I have broken out of this vicious cycle my family always been in, I want to do something legal and build myself up to be something I can be proud of.
I have been unlucky, I diden`t choose my family, still I am lucky to have this welfare system taking care of me...but now I think it's about time to get even luckier and relief the system of having to pay for me.
So, thank you all, I know you will help me accomplish this.

Bad luck Bad experiences? They say everything has a reason. I just think it is so we can build our core strengths, You are upset this has happened, you are offered two choices get stronger or sink further.
You have chosen to get stronger and you will profit from this choice. It may not be material wealth, but it will be profitable. You are rising.

I am not so sure about the reason, things seem to happen very randomly in my opinion.
But I am also a true believer in that what doesn't break you, makes you stronger!
Thank you!
Yeah something like that..
