Not everything that is good and free, is always going to last for free. Some people out there need to figure a way to make ends meet, like the rest of us. Some people want to be rewarded for the dedication of their work. If they decide to monetize what was once free, then they’re going to.

Some things that are the exception are software like Linux OSes and programs like LibreOffice. But I’m talking about things you really loved and couldn’t believe that were free one day, suddenly turn around and have to slap a price tag on it.

You know, people got to sustain themselves and that’s the truth of it.

    Some of the things I’ve found it hard to come to terms with:

    Rules and laws are applied inconsistently and unfairly

    Nothing is permanent and someday nothing I’ve ever done will matter

    Not everyone will get to achieve their goals in life

    Not everyone will find love

    There is always a possibility that someday I will live under a fascist regime

    There is no way to know in advance what day some crazy, life-changing, or world-changing events will happen
