I hate these half assed, “motivational” people. These stupid quotes piss me off. Some people are alone. Some people can’t, and won’t get thru it. Those are the hard facts of the world we live in. Saying this shit isnt going to solve their problems, it’s lazy and pathetic. And it’s just you publicly saying “look how great I am by pretending to care”. Cuz. I’m a white male, who lives in the west and is so fucking over privileged, I want to remind you that I will always get thru my wittle insignificant prawbwems, and be killing it. And maybe sometimes as I drive my high end tesla to a $500 per plate dinner, I may feel a little guilty about it and drop a dumbass quote like this on Twitter, so I can feel better about myself. But that’s as far as it goes. If you got issues, don’t bother me, let your problems be someone else’s problem. I’m just pretending doing to care.

Hi. Thanks for your immensely thoughtful & imaginative disapproval packed with a world of assumption. You’re entirely entitled to it.

Some of my closest friends and family members are going through some heavy stuff so I felt compelled to share. Maybe it helps someone else who reads it too. Maybe it doesn’t. I just put it out there.

Anyways, there’s a world of pain and heartbreak, and loss that this clearly does not apply to. I think there are better resources for that than r/GetMotivated.

You sound like you’re no stranger to pain so I’m sorry you’re hurting enough to express this much hate on a post you could have easily scrolled past. If you’d like to have a conversation and find out a little bit about each other I’m always happy to do that. I wish you the best.
