Truthfully, I have taken everyone, even family, around me for granted. And it's not getting me anywhere. Chasing money isn't getting me anywhere. I am a very miserable man. Ever since I started seeking out what's the most I can get for the smallest effort, I've been a jerk to everyone and pushed everyone away.

I'm not going to want anything from anyone anymore. I'm going to the gym and seeing how I can appreciate people by being social with them and just living a happier life. I think that's the first step: making friends.
