What kind of extreme things have you done
For cash
To save cash
For friends
For someone else
For fun
For school
For any other reason?
-For cash as a kid I sold drugs. I had to buy my own food, clothes, school supplies at the age of 12. Necessities are a powerful motivator.
-To save cash as an adult I'd go a day or two without food and steal toilet paper from the gas station bathroom around the corner. Used to have my power and water shut off a lot. Don't miss those days. But I got damn good at making $35 a week feed a family of 6. I can make magic out of canned goods. (refused to sell drugs once I had kids, took other routes)
-For friends, I once physically threw a guy out of my car before I looked at him and started counting backwards from five. Then I got to zero, got back in the car and tried to run him over. He had punched my friend, his gf, in the head in my backseat and I wasn't having that. He made it into someone's house before I got to him.
-I got locked up as a kid for breaking probation. I wasn't supposed to leave the place I was staying. One of my friends called me crying though, her dad had just beaten her up. I left, went to get her, so on. When I got back, cops were waiting for me. No regrets.
-Extreme things for school would probably have to be going to school at all. It was always so draining on me and not always easy to do as I was homeless a lot as a kid, but still, I tried. As an adult, university nearly killed me every time I tried to go... it was just too much all the time, but I was determined to at least try. I never did manage to get a college degree though.
-I've probably done a lot of things considered extreme. I've lived a really weird life.
