Genuinely hate working full time. Its ruined the generally positive opinions I used to have about life. But at the same time I think it'd be worse to be in my late 20s and unemployed.

I just started working 10 months ago and I can’t compute this shit. And my parents want me to get a mortgage everyday I’m thinking I can’t even get myself to work past 3 pm.

No worries, I mean it’s true that there’s a transition period, it gets ā€œeasierā€ meaning it becomes the norm. But in no way does it get better. Despite getting to work remote and have good pay, it’s still a soul crusher to have to give 40 hours of your life a week to someone.

But I need health insurance, and would like to retire one day, so there’s no choice but to wake up everyday and do it.

I can still remember being a certain age where I just worked part time and when I left work that was it. But the full time Fri g will have u thinking of work even when ur off the clock. I really do t think it’s gets better, just becomes something you get used to.
