not the only "loser". And I went to a good public school too but it feels like everyone my age just kind of crashed out. Can't say I blame them given [gestures] everything. My old high school crush has an etsy store and makes cute little knickknacks which is nice.

I haven't checked in a while, it's been like 25+ years since I graduated HS.

but last time I did, the bullies had become cops, everybody had kids and gotten divorced at least once, a couple different kinds of grifters. nobody seemed to have their shit together at all, but there were definitely a lot trying to make it seem like they did with curated profiles. but the cracks and holes were apparent.

there were 1 or 2 that had no presence or profile online and only vague rumors about where they went. those were the closest things to success, imo. I endeavored to become one of those.

I told family to spread the rumor that I "died during the Gulf War... fighting for the other side." I hope it took.

I'm one of those with essentially no internet presence with my name attached to it. I am not exactly successful though lol
