I will preface this by saying: this is nothing to do with the YanKKKoid election.

Anyway, I don’t know…I’m just so tired all the time, I feel like I’ve been defeated by this shitty system.

I did everything our elders told us to do (got two good degrees, learned several skills outside of it etc), and after a while of being humiliated, degraded and talked down at by people at the local unemployment office, then finding a way to get money again…I just can’t anymore. Things that used to make me feel happy don’t anymore, I’ve all but stopped even trying to have a social or love life after like 2 years of having barely any money (I’ve probably been without a love life for at least 5-6 idk anymore shrug-outta-hecks ).

And despite what the chuds say, it doesn’t even feel fulfilling to work, knowing that unemployment is right around the corner at any moment for whatever reason. It’s also compounded by everything just getting more expensive, and all of my family always putting me down for making bad choices etc sadness

idk how anyone finds the energy to do all the proper “life” stuff anymore, it’s all so exhausting.

Am I making any sense at all? kitty-birthday-sad

    “You must realize that I am far from feeling beaten…it seems to me that… a man out to be deeply convinced that the source of his own moral force is in himself — his very energy and will, the iron coherence of ends and means — that he never falls into those vulgar, banal moods, pessimism and optimism. My own state of mind synthesises these two feelings and transcends them: my mind is pessimistic, but my will is optimistic. Whatever the situation, I imagine the worst that could happen in order to summon up all my reserves and will power to overcome every obstacle.”
