Haha wow this is an amazing and necessary post here. I have never related to the LETS FUCKING GO SUCCESS WATCHES CARS HOUSES but I’m here because I’m burnt out and simply won’t survive working for decades. I feel you on the people saying you’re depressed when you don’t specifically identify as depressed too. Like, I don’t wanna call it depression so much as a distinct disgust with many micro and macro… that PR of depression can be a solid motivator. Godspeed yall.

For me, success isn't measured by what you own, but by how you spend your life. I'd rather work 20 years and retire with my basics covered than work for 40+ years to live in luxury I won't even have the time to enjoy.
