tomorrow is monday and just thinking about commuting, opening my laptop, answering emails, and sitting through meetings is making me tired and exhausted in advance.
working 40 hours a week just to wake up anxious about rent, bills, food, and whether your money will last isn’t “hustle culture.” it’s exhausting, and we shouldn’t have to work this hard just to afford a basic life.
The fact that you can’t check into a hotel until 4pm when the day is basically over but have to check out by 10am the next morning should honestly be illegal.
Nobody prepares you for how much quieter you become in your 30s. You stop needing to be seen, chosen, understood, or validated. You just want to feel rested, regulated, grounded, and at peace.
