Hello, Firstly I already know what most of you are thinking, how could you do this? Trust me…I know. I’m in an absolute low right now and I pray that one day I can pullback. I managed to get a temporary extension for what is owed but I lost everything because I got lucky with liberation day, I made a lot because it and had plans to start my life with my girlfriend, she doesn’t know yet but each day I don’t tell her is killing me. I sold the house I grew up in, a burden I never wanted to deal with and I explicitly said I don’t want to worry about what is owed, I was naive enough to do my taxes on my own which came around liberation day and I genuinely did not expect to end the year like this. I made plans on paying my taxes several times and let it slip by and here I am. I wish a golden trade came my way and gave me a valuable life lesson and scare but I made my grave and I hope my girlfriend will forgive me. I have adhd and struggle with it daily, I chased the dopamine and panicked, fumbled hard. If anything I wish to say please don’t do what I did, do not chase the dream because you’ll be left with a nightmare. It’s so bad…
