    Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder what I'm going to do in regards to my career. The thought induces so much anxiety that I can't actually think about it very long without being overwhelmed by the existential dread of the idea of having to do some menial task for the rest of my able-bodied life and wither away my remaining years in some underfunded nursing home as I die in my sleep from some undiagnosed illness.

    But this... If this is what I have to do to "succeed" then holy fuck. I think staring down the barrel of a 12 Guage is a more preferable option or being that 'weird old guy' at the fucking uhhh grocery store check out lane or whatever. Goddamn this is some fucking horror show shit right here.

        I dream of one day moving out to some land and reforesting the ecosystem while I farm, and it's the one thing that keeps me sane
