Tell Me About Yourself
My name is Chris. I am 23 and live in Las Vegas, Nevada. Born and raised. Yes we have suburbs. I graduated at Sanford-Brown College with a Bachelors in Fine Arts. I got a job that I feel like is my dead end. I work long hours and get plenty of recognition from my coworkers and clientele but not my bosses. I donāt drink too much anymore. Gluttony took over and told me the bottle was half empty. Also makes my stomach feel funky. Do smoke a lot more these days. Nothing horrible like poisonous cigarettesā¦no no. Iām talking about the Devils lettuce. It relaxes me and keeps me sane. I have trouble sleeping at night but never through the day. My health is probably what the average 23 year olds health is or maybe worse. And right now Iām having a quarter life crisis.
I havenāt been doing too much because I work most of the time. When I have a day off Iām usually catching up on my personal adult tasks. When I have days off I try to catch up on sleep and bring my blackened soul back to life by watching my favorite shows or playing video games. Itās starting to feel like an endless cycle. Iām an ex extrovert. Mainly to myself these days because I really donāt want to deal with negativity and ignorance. Donāt have anyone I really call a friend. Quite lonely actually, doesnāt kill my mood though. I enjoy being by myself. I do get lonely sometimes, maybe more than others. I have a girlfriend named Erica and I know sheās going to be my life partner. Sheās very beautiful and not too sure why she finds me attractive but sheās finer than wine. Sheās all I really need at this moment. I get jealous when she doesnāt give me the attention I need or want. Sheās also been very busy though. With school and work sheās pretty limited on time too. I have two cats. Erica brought in her cat, Cat and my 10 year old cat Chase. They live the luxurious life of eating, pooping and sleeping. My main bank account is currently overdrawn but Iām not in any type of trouble. All bills paid and I have multiple investment accounts and other savings. I love to live the luxurious lifestyle with my decent to weak paychecks. I love love love food to the point where I will not be mad if I spend $300 on a fancy meal (to give you an idea of my irresponsible spending). Iāve definitely been doing a lot better with the multiple accounts but can still use improvement.
Due to my work schedule Iāve learned a lot about my past friends. As cliche as it sounds I was there when they needed me but couldnāt get that in return. So Iām a lone wolf. I make decent money with this job and have a generous amount left after bills. Itās starting to slow down and I really have to pick and choose what I need from what I want. Iām currently working on getting a long deserved promotion but I have a feeling that itās going to fall through putting me through another year of doing the same shit I was doing last year and the year before that. Itās really getting to me because other than this job Iām not focused on much else to push me toward financial freedom. I have a lot in school loans and a personal loan for some mistakes I made a couple years ago, car bill, gas bill, internet, rent, insurance, credit card, Spotify blah blah. I feel like Iām not making enough to get released from these chains. I obviously have to do my part but I really just need a balance of everything in life right now. I mostly just need rest. I want to go back to school and learn something new but then Iād have to cut down on hours at work and then I wouldnāt be making nearly as much and bills would not get paid. So Iām stuck in this cycle while trying to seek a new challenge and a better pay.
I worry for the future of this world. I grew up in a broken home and didnāt really have many opportunities as a young child but various scars of the past. I wasnāt put in any karate classes or fed with a platinum spoon. I couldāve definitely put more into myself when I was younger but didnāt. Iām not interested in having any kids right now because I couldnāt support one and would probably never be home to take care of one.
