2 days .. 2 flipping days & it’s @DownloadFest ! Been looking forward to it since purchasing early bird tickets last year. The festival feels like home & I can’t wait to have a break from life because I’m burnt out. I’m hoping my anxiety eases this week.
We've reached the point in the UK where working full time doesn't actually mean anything anymore.
It used to mean stability. It used to mean you could afford a home, eat properly, maybe go away once a year and not panic if your car made a weird noise.
Now it just means nothing.
You wake up early, work all day, come home tired, and still somehow sit there wondering how you're going afford everything.
Rent is ridiculous. Bills are constant. Food prices change depending on the mood of the supermarket.
And wages? Basically frozen in time.
You're not lazy. You're not bad with money. You're just trying to survive in a system where everything goes up except what you get paid.
