Starting a business

My buddy just started a painting business as a side gig and he asked me to help him get it off the ground. I’ve never painted houses but I paint battleships for work so I’m pretty experienced. The conditions are: I have to find the work.
I’m looking for advice on how to grow this business as far as advertising and presentation goes. Any help is appreciated!

The American Health Care system is such a fucking joke

The American healthcare system is a joke. From the insurance companies to the providers to the companies making medicines and treatments to help people, they have all failed their patients and the American people.
I have seen my best friend lose his teenage sister because insurance companies wouldn’t cover the care needed to treat her rare bone cancer. I saw my best friend’s family start GoFundMe’s to raise money to try and take her to experimental treatments in other countries.
I watched my dad struggle with cancer for 5 years before it took his life in 2020. Surgery after surgery. Insurance companies rejecting treatments recommended by the Doctors forcing him into experimental treatments that gave him diabetes before he died.
I honestly have never seen more brave people than my father going to surgery after surgery, treatment after treatment to fight and stay alive. Or my friend’s sister fighting for her life and willing to do anything to stay alive. The same goes for my mother and my friend’s family being brave and supporting them as best as they can.
My MIL has a disease there is no cure for and it feels like it’s more just that a cure doesn’t want to be invented and given just

I got cheated on and made excuses for the other person

tldr: Fell in love with a girl at 14, I'm 19 now and still in love with her - well, the version of her that she crafted in front of me maybe.
I am a girl. I had just accepted that I would marry a dude someday and live miserably ever after. Then I met her - the new student with the most beautiful eyes and the sweetest voice. We'd walk home from school together every day. She gave me flowers, grew possessive of me, held me and I was smitten. For the next two years, it was obvious we were in love but it never led to anything because of society's and our own internalized fears. We were best friends, I guess.
I want to preface this by saying that I'm not particularly good looking and she is \*very\* good looking, so it was hard for me to believe that she liked me. That insecurity came off as jealousy to her. And I'm very academically inclined so her mother was already sowing seeds of jealousy and comparison in her heart (god I hate that bitch). Some misunderstandings led to a big fight and she stormed off. Didn't see her for a year. Loved her through every day of it. When we met again, she seemed a bit different, maybe posh? Oh well, people change. She started talking to me again but hi
