By most people's standards I'm not living well since I'm a little poor / frugal, but I'm happy. My dream as a teenager was to move to the west coast and start a new life. Well, just after I finished high school my dad kicked me out to use my room to start a new business or something and since I was already homeless, I headed out west. That was years ago and I'm now still living here in California with an apartment I love and a job I don't hate. Not the wealthiest but beats those 3 months I was homeless and living in scraps. I also no longer have the friends I wanted to move here to live with because they ended up being pieces of shit, but I like my roommates and still have internet friends so I'm happy with life.

Removing all the pieces of shit from your life is a great idea for personal wellbeing. I hope you continue to thrive.
