It’s crazy that transphobia and anything related to it is still such a huge thing when this dates back to 1959. It’s not just a modern day thing. It’s been here. Always has. People just aren’t scared anymore. They never were until a cruel society made them feel like they should be.

I’ve been sober from coke for three weeks. And that means I haven’t thought about killing myself for three weeks.

I’m still depressed. I’m still in a dark hole. But I don’t want to die now. I want to get better. And this is pretty much the first and only place I’ve shared this. But I feel good.

I come from a small community region where the biggest population is probably 20,000 (if that) for at least an hour any direction.

And people constantly complain we don’t have enough stores/restaurants/stuff to do etc., and I’m not saying I don’t agree, but. I’ve considered opening my own bar or restaurant and looked into all of it and almost NO MATTER WHAT you’re doubling your interest after say, a 30 year business loan. It’s insane.

You have to GUARANTEE absolutely that the business is going to succeed. And that’s just not possible.

Most restaurants/bars fail within the first year. Another solid chunk fails within the first five. You don’t profit for a long time. That’s just the reality. So to take out a 30 year business loan on a place that might or might not make it is just insanity. Doesn’t matter how good you are, you can never guarantee anything in this industry. (Been in it over 10+ years, NOTHING is guaranteed.)

The people are what makes this industry run. The people. Entirely. I’m mostly just ranting at how insanely hard it is just to start your own business, but the PEOPLE who consume the product, whatever that may be, are the ones who actually run the business. Bad or good reviews. Constant business, whether daily, weekly, or monthly. Word of mouth. And now especially, social media. You can do your absolute best and it will not matter if the people don’t come to you.

So I guess my point in all of this is, if you want the small business, support the small business. If you’re wanting a variety of shops/restaurants, make sure you continue to use them and give them your business. The reality is, these places can’t stay open if you don’t frequent them!!

Stop complaining about not having a Target or Olive Garden and check out your local boutique or diner/bar. You might find it’s better than you imagined!!
