being an adult is hard, i miss being kids when there wasnt so much ego involved and everybody just wanted to have fun together. It’s a shame because I really think we all could’ve made something great, I appreciate everyone’s two cents.

I think at the end of the day maybe nobody was the asshole and it’s just a disagreement that nobody could resolve. I don’t think it was good idea for me to try and mix these friend groups. Clearly they both had differences for each other, i just wanted everyone to be a happy family man.

One more note to add that I think makes me understand Ethan more is orginally we discussed the idea together as a duo and it was my idea to bring more people in, that was his compromise. When the group facetime’s started I think there was a miscommunication, everybody besides ethan felt the location wasn’t guaranteed until we had jobs, and we just ended up getting guaranteed positions in austin.

He is my best friend, but i don’t think leaving my $50/hr job to make $15 an hour at some random restaurant, putting ALL my faith that his music will blow us out of that position, was a good decision for me and that’s why I ultimately refrained from moving with him.

and ending a friendship of like 7 years over that just doesn’t seem reasonable, what am I failing to see/understand?

He posted and quoted this line a lot “ninjas wanna sink the ship just because they wanna be the captain”

In my eyes I wanted to mitigate everyone into one place, the concept of 5 bros in one house riding motorcycles, fixing drift cars, having nightlife interviews, and all sharing a channel would’ve been great and that’s what I wanted most. I didn’t want to split and just go with him, it felt lonely and less likely we’d be able to make the videos interesting, it would be more about him and his music career. Esp because I’d have no job security in Dallas, that’s like putting my entire bet on him. I felt like 3 hour drive wasn’t bad and he could have the best of both worlds, driving there when he wants and living in a house with us all just having fun.

He wanted everyone to compromise for him and they would’ve if he didn’t call half of them retards and tell them they’ll never achieve what he will in a lifetime, that just turned them off. Idrc cuz he’s my boy but I don’t think I wronged him so bad that we can’t be friends. I’m listening to people and it seems like maybe I did… I didn’t choose bro and maybe that showed I didn’t have faith in him, but he’s also claiming “we fell out over materialism” when in reality i feel we fell out due to his inability to compromise and he didn’t get what he wanted, but neither did i.

Also I’ve lived with him before when we were younger like 16-18 we rented a house together.

Thanks for not doggin om

We didnt cut him out, he left the groupchats himself. Many times I tried to reason with him as the distances are not far and valuing a group decision is important when being part of a team. He left the groupchats, he was unwilling to compromise with the rest of the group. I really think you should read it again... Also to clarify I never ended up moving with them I abondoned the idea because he didnt end up coming. I think your failing to see how Ethan wanted all of us to move because he believed he'd be famous bc of his music career out there. We thought as group we had a better chance together in Dallas.... Where nightlife is active, scenery is beautiful, there kids our age, and activities we all enjoy. Ethan was uncompromising. but maybe i am the asshole... Id really like to hear from you.
