What were you doing in 2002?

Not the greatest year of my life. I was in middle school trying to fit in somewhere but wasn't ever successful, dad was in and out the hospital with cancer and money was getting tight in my household.

Had just gotten my degree two weeks earlier when I got my pink slip from the 100K job the first week in January.

I had been brainstorming this idea for a while and so I started my first business later that week. ALL my mentors told me that it was the craziest idea and would never make any money , ever...

18 years later it has morphed into several spin-offs and I get to manage from home these days..

@Threepio Awesome 👍🏽.
@SubstantialKick Life is indeed good.

And remember: if you have your own business..you only have to work half a day...

So pick out which 12 hours your want to work today and get busy...!!!

Bought a home at the end of the year. It was an ordeal.

Had no care in the world, good friends that had my back in school, 2 best ftiends, my parents were talking about buying a car, playing all day long after school.
Little did I know that 1 year later everything would change as I moved schools and became the quiet outcast. Also the father still hadn't bought the car.
I got into a new school and will spend the rest of my days til graduation there :)

Uuuuuuuh... One thing I remember specifically from that year was..... Umm... 7 year old me and a friend were........ Bullying? Yeah, we were being assholes to this kid because he had mental issues. Then I had a trip to the principals office to get told off for doing said bullying, then for some reason I broke down crying and made up some bullshit story about being targeted by some dude's dad for breaking his car window.............. I just wish the principal gave me a right good slap across the head for that OBVIOUS lie.... But I digress... ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ/

@SubstantialKick Yooooooooooo, that's totally me too, dawg.. I mean, because of the boys and the girl bullies.. Grrrrrr... Still, even if we manage to bag a fine lady for ourselves... That still doesn't quite quell the negative emotions we have towards ourselves EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE fuck brains.... They're too stubborn!!
SubstantialKick · 36-40, M
@bearinthehalfwayhouse Yep 😂, letting go of the past is one of my struggles, and being made fun of can have an effect on you for years. I posted a selfie on here a year and a half ago, and someone made fun of me. Deleted the post and didn't post another one for almost a year.

@SubstantialKick ... I shudder at the memory of me doing that too.... Stoopid online meanies!! ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ•ʔ
I was in second grade peeing my pants

Clueless kid in KG who would top the class and be bullied.
