Most of you are wasting your goddamn lives. That’s the cold, hard truth.
We go through our days on autopilot, sleepwalking through a mind-numbing routine of work, TV, weekends, repeat. Stuck in the comfort of familiarity. Choosing the easy path of existence over the narrow way of really living.
All the while, the clock is ticking. Seconds, hours, days, years slipping away, never to be seen again.

Non-apologies are statements that might seem like apologies on the surface but don’t actually express genuine remorse or acknowledge wrongdoing. They often shift the responsibility away from the speaker and onto the recipient of the apology, or they dilute the impact of the apology through various means. Here are some common examples:
Takes a deep breath Alright, let’s talk about this pathetic little excuse that so many people use to justify their lack of success and achievement in life:

We live in a society that constantly bombards us with messages about what we should want in life. Advertisers tell us that happiness comes from driving the latest car model, wearing designer clothing, or indulging in luxury vacations.
The media glorifies the rich and famous, making us believe that status and wealth are the ultimate measures of a life well lived.

These memories can pop up unexpectedly, flooding us with the same awful, cringeworthy feelings we felt in the moment. Our first instinct is often to run from the discomfort, to push the memory away, to distract ourselves so we don’t have to relive the embarrassment.
Let’s be real: embarrassment sucks. It’s that gut-wrenching, face-reddening, I-want-to-disappear feeling that we’ve all experienced at one point or another. But here’s the thing – embarrassment is also one of the most powerful tools for personal growth and development.
Think about it. When was the last time you tried something new and felt totally comfortable doing it? Chances are, never. That’s because growth and comfort rarely go hand in hand. In fact, if you’re not feeling a little bit embarrassed or awkward when you’re pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, you’re probably not growing at all.

There’s nothing wrong with a person being concerned about your financial stability. A long-term partnership means depending on each other through the ups and downs, and being financially reliable does help with that to a degree.
The difference between a gold digger and someone who values your role as a provider is that the gold digger would deride and perhaps leave you if you lost your ability to provide for them financially.
A good person can appreciate your financial resources, but a gold digger appreciates only that, and will not see the relationship as worthwhile if you’re not well off.
