My Parents Made Me a Software Engineer

Discipline through their presence has been the common missing factor among my circle of friends. Through repetition and consistency my parents provided me with the core values the world needs in order to make the best of you.

I still have some flaws, I’m a 33 y/o man who’s married and I’m still horny for pretty ladies (80lbs-300lbs, I don’t discriminate as long as they take good care of themselves), I also don’t have the best credit, it’s improving though. I also get tired very easily compared to others, the root cause being undiagnosed depression probably, could be anxiety. I like to own my flaws, I wish my parents were superhuman and cured my mental health issues.

My friends and peers played a crucial part in me becoming who I am today. They were my parents outside the house. The level of care I felt through their advices — could be the worst advices (they were very rarely bad advices) but I could feel the passion in their tones.

Thanks to my parents, and whoever took on that role in my life I am at 6 figures, driving mercedes, at the core still very selfish, full of flaws but very happy.
