Ugh. I just looked up my best friend from high school on facebook. He's living it up in an exotic country with his beautiful wife, doing what he loves for a living, and I'm... oh god I'm on fucking /b/ complaining about it. I work in a shitty dead end job and I'm messed up from drug abuse.
We had the same starting line. We had the same fucking starting line. We just went in different directions and I lost. I fucking lost man.

Go on...
>>681954739
Sucks for you
>>681954739
The finishing line is the same for everyone too.
:(
Trust me, OP, there is noc such thing as being happy and content. Humans are not made to be content with what they have. Rich people have shitty lives, too.
If you were him then yeah, the first few months, the first years would be amazing. But eventually you'd stagnate, too and become unhappy. We'll always, always strive for more than we have.
For what we strive and what our goals are is basically dictated by society.
Look up Aristotle and Eudamonia if you want to get some insight on the topic happiness.

You dead yet?
If you are then when this message reaches you in the afterlife of some half remembered nightmare, you will come to the realization that comparing your life to someone you call a best friend isn't a life, but a life wasted. Be happy for him but go your own way in your life.
Also, no one said that the finish line was the same distance as your friend's.
>You never finish......
>Never

lol @ am I dead yet. I never even implied I was going out, nigga.
But you're right. This may not be the end. His life could go to shit and mine could go great. And then it could swap again. It's all ying and yang and random and bobbity doo da. Who really gives a fuck I guess.

In a similar situation OP except I have a Bachelor's that I've done nothing with
Feels bad man, that's why I've removed myself from all forms of social media since 2016 started.

Check it out, nigger. All you need is one lucky break. Get hired in a career you like in another country. Everyone will tell you it's hard, but fuck dude, it's really not. Whiners, all of them. Learn a skill, monetize it and apply everywhere. If you're good enough, even the stupidest shit can get you far.
Example: I work as a Personal Trainer. Most don't make much money. However, I'm very good. I work with elderly mostly right now, former politicians, former professional golfers, big name lawyers. I make bank, have plenty of free time and do whatever the fuck I want.
Find something you like and git gud.
Forget the wife part, because women are soul sucking pieces of shit.
Also don't give me a substance abuse sob story, I was a functional alcoholic for two years. You wake up early, cry in the shower, get some eyedrops and put your fucking game face on.
Who the anime bitch

BREAKING NEWS:
Facebook confirms that grass is greener on the other side 100% of the time!
You're doing this to yourself you know
>>681961377
Eh, I stalked everyone else from my school. They all tried to display their lives were good, but I could see through that bullshit. That's why I was like "fuck..." when I saw my best friend's page.
Sure, it could be a grass is greener scenario, but it stood out to me.
Can someone please tell me who the bitch in the picture is
>>681958831
