How do you find the strength to go on, day in day out at work? I get up at 6:30 AM. I have a little over an hour commute each day. I work my 8 to 17 job. by the time I get home its around 18:15 so overall I am giving close to 12 hours of my day to work and coming back home I am tired and beaten all I do is shower, cook dinner, eat it, and then laze around on youtube like a zombie until I fall asleep around 21 only to start the race anew tomorrow Half of my weekend is spent on house keeping chores (living alone, I get the pleasure of doing all of them alone) the latter half is spent mostly lazing online because I neither have the strength, nor the time, to seriously indulge any hobbies at best I mindlessly play some video game but I cant say I really enjoy it because I am zoned out with the fatigue of the past week and the stress of the new work week ahead. Next week will be my 3rd year in my current job and honestly I have no idea how I survived that long, or how long I can survive in this state. Whatever this is, this aint living its being a zombie.

    Only thing that saved me is moving to Spain and opening our own BBQ joint, lol, now my stress is way less (by myself in the kitchen instead of 6 sous/outlets and 65 cooks) I hardly exercise anymore, occasionally hiking & mountain biking now instead of road.

    Definitely better than company work! Cheers!

      What are the odds?! My wife and I just landed in Madrid at 6am for a vacation. Never been to Europe. Well, I lived in Germany as a kid, but I don’t remember much of that.

      We’re literally just wandering and killing time until our hotel room is ready for check-in.
