I’m sorry but your opinion means very little it me Rick and Morty Hoodie
It's not uncommon to have disagreements with friends, family, or even strangers on the internet. Sometimes these disagreements get heated, and people might say things they regret. Or you might find yourself at odds with someone whose opinion you value highly.
Two years ago, I was at a point in my life where I wanted to improve myself and get better at writing. I had been working for a year as a barista and slowly became disenchanted with my job. It wasn't enough money to support myself comfortably, and it didn't make me happy. So I decided to take the next step in my life by working on my own business. The logical next step was to go back to college, so I started looking at colleges, and I found a local community college that seemed promising.
This is where I met my girlfriend. She's always loved science fiction and fantasy, so she was the perfect candidate for me to recommend the show Rick and Morty to. We had fun watching it together, which helped us bond even more.
Unfortunately, things weren’t going well with me in school. I didn't understand what I was reading in the books, and I made the same mistakes over and over again. I wasn't learning anything, so it was a losing battle. After three months of trying to be successful as a student, I decided that I was just not cut out for academia.
I dropped out of school in mid-semester to go back to work at my old job as a barista part-time while pursuing my dream at home. But my girlfriend had plans of her own. She was going to move in with me and fully dedicate herself to me being successful.
It was a big decision for her to make, so she really thought it through. But she also knew that living with me wouldn't bring her much financial stability, and she didn't want to live like that. So I suggested that we get married immediately and get married during the honeymoon before she moved in permanently. She agreed, and we were married in less than two days.
Now I had a wife that I loved dearly, but her dream was to be a scientist. To her, it wasn't enough to be an artist who could dabbble in science on the side. She wanted to dedicate herself fully to the discipline, so she started applying for graduate schools at the end of our honeymoon.
With all of the pressure of being a newlywed and a full-time student, I was close to failing out of college. I didn't care though. Neither did my wife, who said she would sacrifice her dreams to support my future dreams.
I threw myself into school so that I could meet my wife's expectations. I made straight As in the first month, but then my grades kept declining. On top of that, I got accepted into the same graduate program as my wife the very same day that we got married.
Now I had a wife and a graduate program to support, but she still didn't want to go to graduate school. She finally got tired of me putting her down, and she told me what the real problem was. It was something that I could have seen coming from a mile away. Her dream wasn't mine, and it never would be.
I was 24 years old then, and I had already been working for 13 years as a barista before ever getting married. I had been barista for two years by then. I knew that she was an artist, but my plan was to attack her dream and make it my own. So I decided not to marry her in the first place, and I had no qualms about exploiting her to get what I wanted from work.
My wife became furious, and she told me what a stalker I was. She stormed out of our apartment and forced me to break up with her. Her words were harsh, but they didn't matter anymore. I was a failure as both a husband and a student, but the most valuable thing I had was my business.
It was only then that I realized that I had been acting like Richard Strauss. He composed operas and symphonies during his lifetime, but he also worked as an advertising copywriter for his entire career. His works are incredible in their beauty, but they are also very minimalist in how they tell you what to feel. That's what we artists do. We use our work to tell other people how they should feel...
