An open letter to Phil on his Farms Reading Day,
Phil, you are at a crossroads in your life. There comes a time for most people where they have to make decisions that they don't like, that scare them, that they're uncomfortable with. A lot of times, even most times, these changes are positive for them in the long run. You've made big, positive decisions for change in the past: moving out of Connecticut, moving Kat out to you, marrying her, acquiring your son Jasper. Many people would be afraid and worried about doing big steps like that.
But now, you have more decisions that have been scratching at your oddly shaped head for years, you keep putting Band-Aids on it and pushing it off and it's only making you suffer. You need to make the change of your life and decide to not live such a volatile career. You know, and have said as much, online content creation is not a guarantee paycheck. It's not paying your bills, very clearly it's not meeting your daily needs as a job, career, future. Continuing streaming as you are is a downward spiral, and whether you admit it or not, you know this, you know it's been detrimental to your health and your relationships.
Any person in your shoes has to decide at some point, do I leave my job and find a steady paycheck without the chargebacks, with the benefits of insurance and stability, or do I change my bills and spending needs by moving? Phil, you need to realize that this is an inevitability, and no matter how much you cry on stream and squeeze blood from your stone audience, this will not change this fact. At what point do you put yourself and your family in front of "sticking it to the trolls"?
For the sake of my entertainment, please never do because you're hilariously creative at finding a new way to weasel through your miserable, shambled life. If I didn't have tractor videos to watch while I work I would be too fucking bored to function.
Thanks for being a roach, Phil!
