Word? Is fam ever scared of something bad happening to him?
The last two sentences are me so much. I was honestly just talking to my sister about this on Sunday. Its not as easy to meet friends after school esp with guys getting families and other things that make it harder to get those memories you have with older friends in. Glad to know I'm not the only one somebody needs to start a website or maybe I just need to be more out going and go to a few club events of things I'm interested in.Son... story of my life.
Like for real for real most of the dudes I came up with is stone hardened criminals, and some of them have done heinous things
Not one of them got money to ever do anything and what's the worst is I'll fly these dudes anywhere for the low and they still wouldn't have the dough, but best believe they will ante up for bag of chronic
Only my one homie from Cali that I mess with like that, but we're on different coasts so it's not like we can kick it like that.
Got one boy that's like in his mid 30's still lives at home that held down one security job his entire life for $10/hour and got fired after his 6 months were up so he can collect unemployment. Dude took out mad credit in his, and his families name and gambled almost $100K away think he could get rich and almost made his moms lose the house. Dude has a serious gambling problem and he'll lose like $5K and will back like $2K and think he's doing it. Before he takes that money and pay off some of his debt he goes and buy kicks at flight club prices hoping to resell and turn a profit.
I still got love for all of them though, but I too can't take them anywhere because they always ready to pop off and always have weapons on them or will go get them if need be... "trying to play Mr. Toughie while I'm on some pretty Tone sh.."
Another one is my cousin who had life set for him but became a pothead and still stresses over his high school sweetheart 13 years later like he just broke up with her last week... yes seriously. This dude says he still wakes up and she's the first thought on his mind... after 13 years. I don't know what to say about that, but I try to tell this dude to leave the chronic alone and get a pension job and do something, but he says it's not the chronic that's holding him back it's the chick. Meanwhile what makes it worst is his HS sweetheart is successful and that just digs him deeper in hole.
Sometimes I would like to meet new people on my level, but it's like where do I go it's not like when you're young I can't just go up to people and be like hey can I chill with your group?
Like you OP I relate more to the hood ghetto mentality of dudes from my neighborhood, and not the preppy 9-5 working types but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
My best friend of 18 years stopped talking to me when he left to college
**** hurt man..he went to my moms daycare..literally grew up with him, spent pretty much every weekend with him.. havent spoken to him in a few years now
I was in his neighborhood the other day. I drove by his house and saw that the light in his room was on.. almost wanted to cry
that last line sounds so sad
keep your grounded when you surround yourself around people who have much less then you.
Why don't you hit him up? And have you not been as "successful" as him?

I think this will be my problem. I'm a such a hip-hop, urban, Hispanic kid that's into sneakers, basketball, etc. and I feel like I just won't be able to vibe with the older white folks from private schools once I start moving up the corporate ladder.No and it hurts, I come from the GHETTO crude and unrefined GHETTO. My best friends were in and out of jail for robbery and murder from 17 years old until 2011. Although they too have grown up since then were just different, I took one of them to a med school graduation party and he drops a loaded gun on the Dj's turntables. Whenever I try to bring them along it's just different, they don't understand the people around aren't my REAL friends, it may seem like we're living the life on Facebook but I'm truly unhappy inside, lonely even.
Around 2012 my best friend since 7 years old just stopped communication completely, I asked another friend and he said I think I'm a "********" now.
My other friends are STILL in the neighborhood not making ANY moves in life AT ALL. I'm not being judgmental but they are truly stagnate and have given up all hope. Their kids? I won't even discuss 2-5 years poppin their *** to "Bands will make her dance", I get my Jet Life on and my Wrath of Cain on but I'm GROWN. They don't like the fact I also listen to other genres of music we didn't grow up on (******** music they call it
I try to take them on new things more fit for people our age (late 20's) Camping, hiking, skiing, road trips, international trips and things, they just don't care. But if one of them calls and says "hey we going to the hole in the wall strip club" these guys will BLOW hundreds they don't have
They don't understand when I attend parties and stuff in these "new circles" it's for business, EVERYTHING is FREE, corporate sponsored, old money trying to impress each other.
I truly am alone the higher up I go and it hurts, NT please don't diss me or use this against me two weeks from now, today has been emotional for me. Maybe cause its a day off and I spent all day online and realized I only have 2 friends left I can call, both are college grads, married and own middle class homes so they understand me better and haven't changed.
I don't consider that i have made it yet.
Exactly.
Cats get some student loan debt and a 40k/yr job and talking about cutting everyone off
I got room for any family and friend, as long as they're not about negativity, regardless if I "made it" or not.
The Drake video being posted is ironic considering he's talking about bringing his crew up with him ("started from the bottom now we here")
I've cut people off for being disloyal or negative, not because they don't have a 401k.
This.Exactly.
