Suddenly, you're 27.
You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out.
Then you wake up, and do it all again.
And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you.
How did everything pass by so quickly?
You don't even feel 27.
You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world.
But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless.
But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too.
Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying.
So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory.
The point is no matter what age you are, youโll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and itโs always a good time to stop and smell the roses.
Women never fought for the right to work they've been in the fields and in the factories since the dawn of time.
They fought for the right to equal wages and to be able to work in all jobs not just the ones that were deemed appropriate for women.
If you get mistreated here you can go to HR, quit immediately, or sometimes sue. You have set hours and you get to leave. There are clear obligations and clear compensation. You are not subject to the whims of a personal oligarch who you just have to hope stays benevolent forever
What's striking about capitalist civilization is that it has no real direction. There's no vision for social progress, no commitment to improving human welfare or ecology. All we get is the chaos of profit-oriented production and accumulation as the world burns around us.
