I just want peace and freedom
Like the title says, all I want out of this life is peace and freedom. Huge asks, I know. The part that I find puzzling about life and most people I know, is that I can’t imagine choosing their lives. I can’t imagine having children, or getting married, or working a job I hate while also having children. That sounds like absolute hell. I see so many people my age having the typical “successful” life with the made up corporate job, the 3 kids they don’t spend enough time with. I’ve never wanted to be a parent. I feel like a childhood version of myself is trapped in the expectations of an adult world that I want no part of. I want to set my life up in a way to have the most amount of free time and peace. I’ve been through so much hardship in my life at such a young age I just am so exhausted by the constant demands and pressure of this world to be somebody or something. I just want to make enough money for myself to have a little more freedom. Be able to take care of my health and travel occasionally. I recently quit my soil sucking job because my mental health got so bad I was debating voting myself off the island. I have bills to pay and pets to care for. They are my world. I’ve even thought of starting a platform for myself to make money in a non traditional way, I just don’t want to be a slave to anyone in the concrete jungle anymore. I want to make things a little easier on myself. I’m just tired, truly. It sucks being so depressed and tired at the age society expects the most from you.
Just a call into the void about difficult shit.
