To answer the question of the OP's thread title: I don't. That's why I get high.
Our age numbers are inverted, you're 26 and I'm 62. As such, while you're looking at the road ahead of you, I'm looking in the rear view mirror. And there are 2 things I can impart upon you
1) the world itself is not going to get any better, people are by and large self centered assholes who don't really care what kind of shitstorm you're enduring. But guess what?
2) ...fuck em and the horse they rode in on. You would be amazed at the survival skills you possess if you just let go of the baggage people try to force upon you.
It's a numbers game, kid. Because even though they're in the minority, there ARE a lot of good people in the world who can help lighten your load. Can't find a job? Can't find a meal? Can't find a hit of anything? Keep knocking on doors, you're going to find people who will help you make your way.
3 months ago, my wife wanted to help a girl she knows (she's 31} kick H. We had a spare bedroom all ready to go for her. While bringing over some of her clothes, she brought a friend of hers from high school she hadnt seen in 9 years. He was just passing thru town on his way to LA and stopped in for a one night visit. Bad move on his part. She wanted to run to the store, so he tossed her the keys to the new 2017 Nissan he had just driven off the lot 2 days prior.
A week later, having disappeared with his car, her asshole boyfriend falls asleep at the wheel at the end of a week long tweak run and eats a light pole. This poor guy was stuck in a strange city with no ride, no money, no family that would help him. Turns out he stumbled thru the right door: 3 months later, guess who is occupying the spare room? This dude we didn't know from Adam is part of the family now, and the demons he was trying to escape from by moving to LA with the clothes on his back (and an easy first time buyer's program), at least for now, have been given the slip.
BTW, his name is Kyle. Just stay in the game kid. You never know...
