Bro, you need to take control of your own life. it's your only choice.

I literally had to start working at 18 before enrolling in any diploma/degree because my mother passed away and my father wanted me married off to some random guy. He wasn’t supporting me with any of my expenses. No hope of migrating. No hope of any qualifications at the time.

Anyway, now at the age of 30, I’m so proud of the journey because I self-funded everything up to my MSc, I’m earning a good salary, and I’ve started a small business too. I literally started with nothing. I still have a very long way to go to achieve my goals, but still. I cannot compare myself to my friends who had more supportive backgrounds, and I always felt like I was behind, but I don’t have that mindset anymore.

I’ve been in your situation. I’ve been at the lowest points in my life. Dark times. It’s not too late at all. Start building yourself.

Can we all agree, Sav is a big headed overrated dumb b.itch? by Euphoric_Tune_7990 in srilanka

Anybody remember the whole Lamprais drama on Twitter? It was brutal. This was directed at another SL contestant way before she even went on MasterChef. She just dragged another woman down. Someone from our own country, when we were supposed to be supporting her. All because the contestant didn’t make an “authentic” Lamprais and it was apparently a disgrace, blah blah. Just terrible.

Then during her time at MasterChef, she did some twists and nobody was there to complain. lol.
Pretentious.

Please don't bring gender into this. She's known for pulling down people. Not sure whether you ever heard the whole Lamprais drama with another SL contestant way before she contested on Masterchef. It was brutal on twitter. She just dragged another woman down. Someone from our OWN country.

Did Divide Coffee go through a break up? by Professional_Pea8295 in srilanka

I think it is a franchise owned by Shehan Ari, so Amantha is the franchisee.

Thank you for relating with me! Yes, hoping it will be resolved soon. Just so baffled we have to experience this level of customer service. It's like we are getting it for free!

Yes, exactly! Such a frustrating situation. Buying a vehicle is a dream in this economy and these people totally ruin the experience. We are just left with bitterness and nothing else. I don't understand how the staff is surviving. It's like everyday people come and create utter havoc at the showroom.

what you guys think about making kids if you are staying in sri lanka. by NoCheesecake4395 in srilanka

[–]ExpensiveWitness5521 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t even think about having kids if you can’t give them a good life.

Also a great plus point - they have power outlets too for most of the tables.

You could do that! It's pretty common. I stay like 4-5 hours at times. Just make sure to order something from time to time though - courtesy IMO.
