Paint on a borrowed canvas and it's hard to complain when they take your life from you. Find the real and fuck all this shit. I turn 40 in a month. I've been following this religion since I was 15.

Yeah man. I would say don't do what I did, but that's probably not you. You'll probably have 5 jobs. The advice here that is looking backwards is fucking useless stupid bullshit. This is a tire fire covered in an accidental sewer dump from a Dave Mathews Band tour bus.
Work isn't a search for capital it is sometimes solo but usually a collaborative search for a truth that sums one and one to make three.
