To be home, with my wife.
The problem with finding a perfect person, is having to spend time away from them.
Someone said to me the other day when I shared about a similar feeling with them
Having to spend time apart gives you both time how much you miss each other and cherish the time you spend with another
To have enough money where i can live comfortably on the interest
That my country would stop being so god damn stupid.
Sigh 😮💨, same… in Philippines.
Can I ask what country?
Sweden
What’s stupid there?
3 things.
- increased right wing politics including fucking nazies and racistw being the second largest party now… yay/s
- we had a large amount of immigration that becouse it wassent handeled correctly a.i. actual programs for integration, lack of said social security … there are now larger wealth gaps and seperations in sweden that ever in 40 years.
- our social security is increasingly privitized and it is frustrating af. I am well off ill be fine, but it frustrates me sincr thease kind of wellfare sytems (substedies, helthcare, schools …) help reduce crime, and make people happier but no… lets just increase punishments and make sure that ritch comunites are safe and fuck upp the poor…
Well, it’s +/- the same for all Western Europe I guess. I’m from France and we also witness our then really strong public services getting weaker and weaker. Privatisation and less stated owned, leaning a bit towards the (beware, hot take) fucked up US system.
Regarding immigration, we do have a problem here : people coming to France can’t be welcomed in good conditions. We must either stop or reduce it (right wing answer) or invest way more than we do now to welcome them more decently (left wing answer). But something needs to be done indeed.
Sorry for the rant
whats wrong with sweden?
Yeah me too, stupid god damn country
Why?
For my first subproject to finish coming together. It’s so exciting I often can’t sit still and focus on it. It’s a new kind of 3d modeling tool for a virtual world platform I am working on. It’s the heart of the entire project and it has given off clear signs of life. It feels like holding the detonator that will blow a hole in reality and not exactly knowing what’s on the other side. It has taken endless resolve to get here.
That’s amazing good on you mate!!
To not have to work another day in my life. Sure I could say to be excessively wealthy but I’m happy with satisfying basic needs and living in my simple home. All I want is to be able to wake up every day without the crushing burden of having to keep a job that keeps the spectre of starvation and homelessness away for another few days.
Who are you, Lucifer? Whatever it is I want I’m not trading my soul for it, sorry.
Bruv I think I might. My soul doesn’t have a shitty back, I’d understand.
Dw Lucy baby I’ve got a deal for you, hmu
I want to be happy.
Came here to say something similar. Currently hating life and fantasizing how I’d quit my job and burn this bridge
I want to go to sleep
For how long?
Until I wake up naturally instead of by an alarm clock or a cat attacking my toes
To get a job I want.
But, right right right now, my desire is that my computer doesn’t get herpes after I finish downloading this thing
What are you downloading?
Boyfriend
Same. Feels hopeless sometimes.
To retire. I’m not even 40 yet but I dread going to work every morning. I don’t even hate my work - I just don’t feel like even the relatively good salary I get is enough to compensate for the lost time.
I think I know what you mean. I’ve hit a phase where time spent at work feels like wasted time, since it’s not time I got to spend doing something I wanted to be doing. Which is really contrary to the usual philosophy that time not spent money is wasted.
I’ve switched jobs gone back to school etc, but no matter what once something becomes a mandatory routine that time feels like a waste. I’m starting to really value and cherish the seconds I actually have control over.
This feeling gets worse when you realize that the time we have is a limited, non-renovating and exhaustible resource. We give this away for money over and over until we run out. Depressing as fuck.
I took 9 months off work (well kinda I did some freelance shit but I mostly got to not work). I did eventually get bored but it took 6 of those 9 months to actually get bored lol. It may have been different if I had enough money to do whatever I wanted but, I had enough to survive.
I had a year long paid leave and that confirmed for me that my sense of meaning is in no way tied to my work.
To me, it just showed me that I can essentially do whatever I want to make myself happy. Work, not work, hobbies, whatever is right for the moment.
Yeah. I don’t necessarily even want to retire right now, it’s more that hanging axe feeling that I’m never going to be able to, between decreasing purchasing power and increasing age requirements for retirement benefits. Makes it hard to get motivated to work knowing I’m going to have to keep doing it until I’m in my grave.
To be able to live a simple life of relative comfort that’s not filled with the constant worry that people more rich/powerful than me are going to fuck up my life in ways I can imagine and other ways I can’t.
For my husband and I to experience even just one day without back pain. It’s debilitating.
Sleep on the floor, assuming your mattress is trash.
You probably won’t sleep well, and your back is going to scream when you get up in the morning because you’re trying to sleep on a firm surface the way you sleep on a plush bed, but the pain will dissipate shortly thereafter.
We don’t know what causes their sore back though.
I used to have years of chronic back pain, sleeping on hard floor did not help. Chiropractor didn’t either.
I had a few sessions of japanese muscle and bone allignment treatment and that healed me. That was nearly 10 years ago now.

Resign and start to do some wild freelancer work where almost every day is different
If only there was a freelance job as drugtester, that would be pretty wild lol
