#fruitsoflife

AS I WAS SAYING, a couple of days ago these three wandered down to my apartment and was knocking on my door. Talking some shit about, "We came to greet the new neighbor!"

Greet my fucking ass! There was no way I was gonna let their asses in no matter how much I love, crave, and need another human in this space other than me..... So I did the natural thing and let them in. I saw one of them had a nasty ass fruit cake and I immediately regretted my life choices.

I started talkin to em tho and they seemed pretty chill for the most part. Immediately became my favorite people. Not that I knew many people before this. This is Miko and she's my new best friend if I do say so myself. She's that person that volunteers at soup kitchens and loves puppies and shes always protesting something. I've seen her around the city and thought it was kinda weird but whatever floats her boat! She's kind of a nerd but like the fun ones that go to cons and actually bathe and don't sexually harass other people. She apparently reads and collects comics and told me that I could come by any time to read em! I wasn't gonna take her up on that but after I know what I know now I just might....

This mess here is Penny... and when I say mess I really mean mess. She came up in here with her sad ass fruitcake and her sad ass mood with totally ruined my good vibes. Apparently, she and Miko are dating or something and she dragged her along to raise her spirits. She definitely brought her to the wrong house tho because I do NOT do sad. Pennys some kind of influencer on simstagram and does this thing there she bends her legs behind her head and people pay to see it or something. I don't kink shame but imma kink shame right now cuz that's weird. But hey shes making dough from it so it's fine. Imma mind my business. Apparently, shes sad today because she got some mean comments on her latest posts but I think she'll be alright.... I think.

And this right here yall? This is Akira. Kibo. I have no clue what it is about him but I just couldn't take my eyes off him. No clue what I was feeling and it was annoying and he was annoying me and his voice was so sultry and and and and and and and.....

Sorry, I had a daydream for a couple hours but I'm back! Where was I? Oh. Yeah. Dadd- I mean Akira! Cool guy. He goes out with Miko to protest and alla that stuff.. I can't remember what exactly he does cuz I zoned out a lil bit but yeah.... Akira....

They were there for a little bit and we mostly just talked and told stories and watched a movie. Getting to know each other ya know? Little did they know they were going to become my biggest groupies when I made it big! I think of it as my gift to them. They gave me a couple hours of letting talk as much as I wanted. The least I could do is share some of my future fame with them!

Hey! It's been a minute! Welcome back into my head. Lemme show you around my place!

Anyway here's my better than shit apartment! Come on in let me give yall a tour! Take yall shoes off at the door tho I still have SOME morals.

And don't clock me for wearing shoes in my own bed because it's MY BED!! Anyways here's my cute ass dirty ass kitchen and front door! I made those skateboards by hand ya know. I barely use the stove because pizza and the food court downstairs is superior!

Heres my little living/TV room. Most of the insurance money went on that bad boy sitting on that table over there. I'm kinda proud of it. I cant pay for cable or internet or much else but at least I have a big ass TV and can steal all that other crap form the neighbors.

There's my computer where I write all my songs at and look at kitten videos for a couple hours before switching to po- I mean wholesome family youtube channels! Yeah... yeah... anyway it's a good time. Had this ole thing for years now and its still trucking along.

And there's the notebook you're reading right now! It's a thiccy ain't it? One day you might write in that same book. Mmmmhmm yes indeedy. Don't spill nothing on these pages tho. It might've only cost $20 but I had to do a whole lot of haggling for it!

This is the bomb-ass view I get from my apartment! I'm too broke to go out places so I like to put my head against the glass and imagine myself amongst the big shots. Well actually I kind of project myself there.... my brains weird. You'll see. Issa mess.

And THIS is my throne. Where I spend at least 2 hours on average a day. Sittin on the terlet. Letting my body free itself. Scrolling through Switter and Simstagram. Stalking my ex's. Ya know, normal ppl things. I like to sing in the shower and belt off "THIS BOY IS A BOTTOMMMMMM" at 3 am. My neighbors don't like it much but that's prolly cuz they feel called out. I understand how yall feel bottoms... I understand. And its gonna be okay!

New to the city with nowhere else to go. He don’t got much but what he lacks in money and politeness he more than makes up for in charisma and motivation.

"Gawdddd DAM even after living here for 2 months this place still smells like shit. What the fuck was I thinking moving on up in here?"

Yup. That’s him. Our protagonist. The man we're supposed to be following in this story. You'll learn to love him though.

And by "him" I really mean me! Hi! It's ya boy, Phoenix Karasi and if you're reading this that means you're apart of my legacy and as such you're obligated to read every single word in this notebook!

You're probably wondering why I'm starting my story here when I'm a nobody with no friends nor family but this is an important part of your history! Trust me! Your great how many times grand whatever the fuck I am would never lead you astray!

See I used to have a home back in Del Sol Valley with a mom... and another mom.... and a third mom... and like a sister or whatever but I lost two of my moms in a car accident and my other mom ran off with my sister afterwards leaving me alone to fend for myself! (I was never really her favorite... bitch.) BUT ANYWAYS! I bounced around foster homes for a while until I turned 18 and was promptly kicked out. Been working as a waiter since then just living life and straight up vibing. It's been about 6 years since the accident and I'm 21 now and that’s when I got the insurance money what was left to me.

It was only $4,000 but hey when you're below the dirt poor you take whatever you can. With that I decided to move from my shitty apartment into a... much less shitty apartment where I can hone my skills and follow my dreams of become a singing STAR!

Maybe I'm too ambitious and maybe I don’t know jack shit about the singing industry to actually be successful and MAYBE its a stupid dream but HEY! Mind ya dam business alright!

Maybe I haven’t made any new friends and MAYBE I'm going stir crazy because I really love having friends and MAYBE I love talking to myself because I know deep down the only bitch that gon have my back is me but AGAIN! HEY! Mind ya business.

I might not know shit about shit but what i do know is somehow, some time and some where.... I'm gon make it. I guarantee it!

You’re the new one in town and out to start a new legacy. With no friends and unfortunately no family left, you’re starting your new life alone, but with your confidence you’re bound to make friends soon (if they don’t think you’re too erratic). Your ambition drives your motives and whims and you strive to improve all sim lives. Like an orange, you’re bright with a life that seems to lack any lumps. But will you be squeezed dry? Will your work in the world take priority over the needs of your growing family?
