you arent talking about yourself are u
Yup. . . thats him alright
Real talk though, I can understand why he feels the way he does...I was ther once.
The thing ya gotta realize is that being successful is a result of having your priorities straight...prime example, why even Date, if you are broke? It's just a waste of time and energy, if you broke you should b workin 3 jobs, nigga you don't even need to sleep!
Secondly, your unemployed, so why do you even need a car? Even if you did have a job you could always take public transporation. $500 for a yearly bus pass > Thousands of dollars for a piece of shit car + Maintenance, Gas, Tickets etc.
As far as your music career, there's either two reasons you failed:
lack of self evaluation
or
lack of persistence
nobody is a born prodigy at anything in life....most niggas are be garbage in the begining...but with practice they get better
just like ANY AQUIRED CHARACTERISTIC IN LIFE. . some ppl are more inclined towards a certain skill. . .whether it's dexterity, hand to eye movement, perfect pitch, charisma, or articulateness....
some niggaz is gonna pick up on shit easier than others obviously
but not EVERYBODY will be great with practice....
What would I reccommend? I recommend you go on a 7 day water fast. . . why?
If you can control something as natural as your eating habits, then you can control anything in life. . .
And I also recommend you run atleast 2 miles a day, and lift weights for atleast 45 mins every day. Doing that will build discipline, and plus when you see you're making progress, it will teach you why being persistent towards your goal is essential. It will also build your confidence/self esteem.

Yes, that's me. I feel I should explain a few things though.
Part of the reason I'm unemployed is because I'm on a student visa which means I'm not legally allowed to work until I've been in the country for at least one year. Basically until mid-May. I'm already more than 1/3 of the way through my degree but if I get deported those credits will be worthless. In the meantime, I've been volunteering in various spots trying to make sure I can hit the ground running once I'm ready.
One of the reasons I have a car is because public transit in the Bay Area is ridiculously expensive. $500 would barely cover my transit expenses for 3 months. For instance, if I have to go to Hayward and back it costs me roughly $8-$10 and can take over an hour each way. In my car it takes less than $5 worth of gas and the trip takes less than 20 minutes. Also the neighborhood I live in isn't always safe to walk through after dark, especially if I'm carrying sound gear. Having a vehicle eliminates the need for a taxi.
I currently run 3 1/2 miles every other day. I lift weights about two days a week. I've tried to lift 45 minutes every day, but I can't find a way to make my body handle the stress. Working out every day seems to limit my gains until after a while I can barely lift 3/4's of what I could do the week before. My last attempt at a water fast fizzled after 3 days.
There are many reasons I haven't 'made it' as a musician (or at least not making it now. I used to raise a family of 4 off of my gigs and CD sales.) I honestly believe one of the main reasons was a bad location. If there was a slew of Vancouver rappers making long money off of their crafts then I would be the first to blame a lack of persistence. On the contrary, I've known at least 200 from that city and less than 20 of them ever made enough to eat. Of the ones that did most of them either worked part time jobs, lived with their parents, or had a side hustle that got them locked up. For most even that meager success died within a couple years just like mine did. That's one of the reasons I moved to California.
If I had been going through all of this at 21 years old it would have been understandable. At 31 it's just pathetic.
