    So I’ve just started working my first real job post-college graduation. The reality that I’m always going to be this miserable, this tired, and this stressed is really starting to set in. It wouldn’t be that bad if there just weren’t so many hours. I work 45 hours in a week plus an hour commute one-way. Which might not be as much as some people, but I’m just too tired after work to enjoy the 4 hours o have left in the day. I’m considering that I might just be more happy if I work a job with less hours and have no disposable income. The dollar could collapse on itself any day now anyway and it would’ve all been for nothing

      I have been in your exact position, and three years of it almost killed me. Took another position that pays way less but I have my time back, and I'm infinitely happier
