friends get weird family gets distant girls get interested for wrong reasons
you can't celebrate because they'll judge you can't struggle because "must be nice" you can't be human
because you're supposed to be happy
i remember calling my best friend:
"bro i just hit 100k" silence "must be nice being lucky" lucky?
18 hour days = lucky? living in a shed = lucky? sacrificing everything = lucky?
that's when i learned: level up alone celebrate alone struggle alone find new friends at new levels
because success changes you and change scares people especially people who aren't changing
now my circle is 5 people
all making $500k+ monthly all understand the cost all pay it gladly
we don't talk about cars we talk about problem we don't flex we solve
because real g's move in silence and silence is expensive but worth every penny
the lesson:
prepare to lose people it's not personal it's physics
you're vibrating different they can feel it they can't match it
so they leave let them

my first $100,000 month taught me something dark:
success is lonely as fuck
here's what they don't tell you:
friends get weird
family gets distant
girls get interested for wrong reasons
you can't celebrate
because they'll judge
you can't struggle
because "must be nice"
you can't be human
because you're supposed to be happy
i remember calling my best friend:
"bro i just hit 100k"
silence
"must be nice being lucky"
lucky?
18 hour days = lucky?
living in a shed = lucky?
sacrificing everything = lucky?
