Flex that you now own xyz?

I was always so career-oriented, ever since I was a child. I always imagined being more successful in my career life by now, seeing that I just recently turned 32.

I have been told by numerous teachers (and even a college faculty member) that I am an exceptional writer. I worked as an Advanced EMT for several years, gaining experience and knowledge in both the healthcare and public safety lines of work. From there, I explored an entirely different line of work: software development. I taught myself a vast amount of languages, libraries, frameworks, tools, and other technologies. Sadly, a combination of different factors just completely derailed me: struggles with severe mental illesss over a decade, a stalking and harassment conviction with collateral damages, and advancements in AI causing me to rethink my career paths entirely. I have held a total of 25 jobs in a span of 15 years, and I am currently working my 26th role (part time).

Now as it stands today at age 32, I am a nobody in society. I am at least very fortunate to be married to the love of my life and having a roof over my head (thanks to my parents), but I am reliant of Social Security Disability (SSDI) income and a part time security job that pays $16.50 an hour/24 hours a week.

I feel like I am meant for something better in life and feel lost, career speaking. I am not a homeowner, and even without rent or mortgage payments I feel financially drained and unstable. I feel I am fighting this depression as if I am not living up to my full potential. I feel this intense, prolonged burnout. I don't even know what I am passionate for anymore.

5 years ago, this guy used to joke on me saying my family own old cheaper cars. We did have an old Mercedes. I said my dad although he’s very wealthy just doesn’t care about cars.

He saw we own a massive 6000 sqfoot home worth £2mill that looks really impressive esp for our country. Now my dad bought ultra luxury cars like RR

I lost contact with the guy I wish he knew what we drive now I wishhhh. I know it doesn’t matter but when people undermine you.

I told him I care about cars and I will buy them on day and that my dad might get a luxury car when he retires

Liminal spaces if you don't know are usually common everyday places people normally populate but are instead completely void of any people and are well lit often with some dark corners in the frame. or you might feel unease thinking there might be someone or something just lurking somewhere behind a corner... The lighting might feel unnatural or you may notice some flickering in some instances.
