Raised on TV to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, movie gods and rock stars. But we won't. I'm slowly learning that fact. And I'm very pissed off.
Call it a millennial crisis if you want.
But in my 30's, I realized l don't actually want the life I worked so hard for. I don't care about titles. I don't care about climbing anyone else's ladder. I care about time. I care about slow mornings. I care about peace. I care about bare feet at the beach with nowhere to be. I still want to make money.. just not at the cost of my life.
i am so fucking done with hustle culture. i want to wake with the sun and sip my coffee slow. i want to grow my own food and share meals with people i love. i want to read books worth sharing. i want to write words worth reading. i want to live a life that actually feels like living.
Sorry, I’m not free this weekend. On Friday night, I’m busy recovering from the 5 day work week. Saturday is only 45 minutes long, and on Sunday, I’m totally tied up with a series of panic attacks because Monday is literally 30 minutes away.
Covid showed us we could slow down, work different, care for each other, rethink everything. We had one rare chance to build a life that was less cruel, less exhausting, less centered around grinding people into dust.
Instead we sprinted right back into burnout, greed, higher costs, worse mental health, and pretending this is normal.
That’s what makes me angry. We learned nothing.
No, you cannot walk 10,000 steps daily, get 8 hours of sleep, cook every night, clean every day, take care of a family, make time for your own hobbies, and still be productive at work every day. This is not just propaganda, it is nonsense. Free yourself from it.
I’m an adult, of course I’m burnt out because I grew up being told hard work pays off so I made work my entire personality but apparently it doesn’t pay off it just creates more work and sets an unrealistic achievement standard that’s impossible to keep up with.
Sleeping 5–7 hours, working 8–9, then squeezing your life into the leftover 2–4 hours, including preparing for tomorrow… that doesn’t really feel like living.
Anyone else stuck in this weird cycle where work is so exhausting that your hobbies feel like too much work, so you don’t do them, and then you go back to work upset that you didn’t take time to do the things you enjoy?

@Ginger_Tucci@GazWallace402 I'm nearly 1000% sure that no one, and I mean no one ever, has asked that man to get his genitals out.
Unless he's been caught shagging garden gnomes, then I'm pretty sure "OI you! Get ya junk outta my gnome ya filthy bastard" is definitely on the table.
