My soul seems just fine...
I have never agreed with the whole "protect Isaiah" group because after he was 16, he could have gotten a J-O-B, had a vehicle, and made his own money. Not sit around, be on the vlogs/Tik-Toking, etc... I knew then, they were forming him into not working.. They were showing him that you didn't have to work hard and could still make it. He is a product of his environment for sure..
At the end of the day though, he went to school with other teenagers and he would have seen them working. He would have seen their struggles, like he sees with his roommate. It is a reason he cannot connect with like-minded peers because he is a "wanna-be" rich kid but doesn't have "all the funds" but very minimal because it is his parent's funds and they fund it when they want to..
Also, agree with him always being told that he was super smart. It doesn't seem like it for sure... Especially when it comes to handling a pandemic!
I do like Grandpa though!
