    The knowledge that I have to go to work for the rest of my life. Other people get to live remarkable lives, and I don’t. This is it. Forever.

      On the flip side, you earn as long as you work. Assuming you earn a decent amount, you can invest it into your hobbies

        Not impossible, but I’ve failed thus far. Most people do. There aren’t a lot of exciting jobs in the world and a lot of people who want them.

      Meh. Ikigai. Lagom.

      I have a job that, when I work it, gives me validation and food-money. I can do this forever. I don’t need more than the basic needs and a bit for special stuff. That’s enough.
