Hey so I'm about 2 years deep into working full time as an adult in modern US (multiple jobs, 6-7 days/week, as most ppl need nowadays). And uh. How do people do this their whole lives? I can't do this anymore. How in tf is this sustainable? 😭
Like existence is just endless pain and misery
Squeezing in a lil getaway or vacation just makes everything so much worse and more stressful, and depletes the survival fund
Like I can manage one social event every other month or so

Find a purpose!! Find your meaning!! Volunteer for a youth organization, coach a sports team, be someone’s teacher or mentor, have a family, be an artist, etc etc.

I live with a large group of people all making bulk food together and saving up as much as we can. The goal is to retire at 40.
I'm 26 now. 14 more years to go living small. Then I can spend the rest of my life living medium

Basically, adult world is trying to find enough time to make it back to work
Maybe you can dream about seeing your friends if you have enough time to access REM sleep
