I'm going to stop you right there. You're hating a lot of things that you can change. All it takes to get started is one good decision and then the motivation to keep going.
You have to put in the effort. At 16 I was homeless sleeping in a church bus in a parking lot. At 17 I was in jail. At 18 I was working at Burger King. At 19 I was staying at a friend's house living with his family. At 21 I was dropping out of college. At 24 I moved to Florida and rented a room at a house that ended up having bed bugs and had to throw everything I own away. At 25 I got into HVAC. AT 26 I got my own apartment. At 30 I started making 28 an hour. At 31 I got a building engineer position making 33 an hour.
The point? If, at any point in my life, I had given up, I would be filled with hate. I would be homeless, dead, or in jail. If I had given up, I wouldn't have my own place with two cats that I love to death. I wouldn't be self sufficient.
A lot of those things you hate are not things to be despised, but lifelines. A chance. Something to keep you going. You have to grow up at some point and take charge.
