There’ll be a moment when you realise you’re 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn’t be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don’t talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom’s burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won’t be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.

It’s a new day, and I’m still bitter af about Warner Bros ruining the Lethal Weapon TV series.
A large problem is that most people have no concept of size. They think 150k is close to or on par with the people in the billions. It’s not
If you made $15/hr, and were able to keep every cent, and worked 24/7 every day, it would take you 1 year and 7 weeks to accumulate $150k.
With the same scenario, it would take you 7,610 years to accumulate $1 billion.
A quick internet search shows that podiatrists, pediatricians, and anaesthetic nurses make $150k on average. The people who make sure you can walk, who take care of children, who prepare you for surgery? Yeah I’m OK with them making a lot of money.
Also if you become clearer about the distinction you won’t have people who make 150k a year getting defensive
