Why's life got to be the way it is :/

I'm tired of this rat race I didnt ask to put in. My childhood was robbed; and life rn is just an endless cycle of wake up -> work -> sleep -> rinse and repeat. Ugh I just want to be happy and content man.

I'm not suicidal or anything, just feeling kinda down rn

      this resonates with me a lot. i kind of had a shit childhood (single parent + a lot of other factors) and it's infuriating seeing kids with connections easily get internships and jobs. not to mention the support system provided by a stable double parent system.

          You must persevere against all odds.

          strong words comrade, much appreciated.

          You know, I really fucking hate it when people say shit like this here. Like there's just loads of people out there expending valuable brainpower in wanting to see le epic Chapo posters fail at life because they have certain beliefs, when everybody knows no one even thinks about it in these terms.

              Yeah, fair. I don't think people are out there hating on people who are leftists IRL a lot more than say, libs or conservatives, but you're right that this exists.

            I think what he meant by leftists is people who weren't lucky enough to be born to well off parents, or people who weren't dealt a good hand in life in general.

                The average person born to well off parents isnt going to be a leftist lol. Working class solidarity is much needed. Plus it's kinda pedantic to take things at exact face value.

                  Yeah, I definitely don't think that's a natural interpretation of what was being said and I don't think I was being pedantic in interpreting it the way I did.

                    I understood what he was trying to say, so let's agree to disagree I suppose

    I'm in college rn and I'm very scared that this will happen to me. All I want to do is make indie games, but I'm scared i'll be taken advantage of.

      Like another poster said

      You can’t give up though. People want to see leftists fail. You must persevere against all odds.

      persevere, comrade

      Matt is so great. I'm staying off the drink for a while, been going hard this whole summer because of being locked up on my balcony with rum, so today I watched Matt being blackout drunk in 2018. I mean I still wanna get drunk, but now I have perspective.

    I'm sorry you're not feeling great right now comrade, but make sure you remember that it's okay to feel down, to not be happy or content. It's okay to not be okay <3

    I suggest holding on long enough so you are either able to find another work (capitalist to slave for), or just leave the country and go elsewhere. The USA is a place heading in a horrible direction whoever gets elected in a few months, watching out for yourself is the only advisable course of action.

    The only thing that makes me happy is cartoons with lesbians.

        Right now Legend of Korra (and comics) and OwlHouse. Next She Ra. Haven't heard of The Dragon Prince.

          The Dragon Prince is made by the same people who made avatar. The protagonist is voiced by Sokka's VA and they have the same writers. Def go check it out. I personally think it's better than She Ra.

    There's a really good book on this that you might have skipped because the title seems really dippy, but it's called Stumbling on Happiness. It's about struggling with not being happy, and it helped me a ton. It's not about how to be happy, it's about how to cope when you're not and what happiness even means. It is definitely worth a read. Not a frivolous book at all actually.

        If you're struggling right now, please bump it to the top. It's a fast and fascinating read and it will really help you a lot.

      1P-LSD is a completely legal drug (as long as you don't intend to consume it willingly that is). Drugs in general are horrible though, so don't.
