I have friends out there I can crash with. My Wrestlezone gig pays me enough to be at least mildly stable (rent, food...half my phone bill). I've already put it off for a year, so I'm about done waiting. The car is leaving in 6 days, I'm not changing my plans yet again. Plus, the people I'm living with now are moving then, so I'd actually have less a place to live here than I do out there.
I just sent him a long message about how I was pissed, telling him to grow up, and...as a best friend of 14 years does, called him out on his shit. And he preceded to tell me that I'm a pretentious prick that's a wannabe writer that's never gonna make it in life, and that I need to get off my high horse.
I expect that from the dicks on Twitter, or in the WZ comments section, or occasionally from the Forums...but you know, not your best friends. Shit like that doesn't bother me, because I get it every day. The hundreds of people that DO like my work validate me, and I'm confident enough in both my ability, and my desire to grow and get better taht I don't let it effect me. It was just such a low-blow from my best friend, you know?
Especially since he's literally done nothing with his life to call ME a wannabe that's never gonna make it.
