Cannon Event in Current Events

How do three men in their thirties not have $800 between them? I read in a meme. This was a cannon event. This was several years ago but I couldn’t take the shame so it inspired me to start acting my wage. I cleaned my act up in a lot of areas.

My roommate said something the other day that has been haunting me. I joined a dating app. I started talking to someone who is on our level. I didn’t want to know what she meant by that. She is already a specter, a phantom of who I used to be—a projection of the worst version of myself. Later in the evening, she made that statement again but explained that he is also trying to figure things out. So that is how people see me?

How does a grown man pushing forty not have his life figured out? An existential crisis will do me good. I did a little self-assessment, and I’ll start there. I don’t want shame to be what motivates me. I have been good at giving myself grace. The odds were not in my favor but I beat them. Again and again. The road to get here has been painful and long. I did it all the hard way.
