Speaking in the context of satisfying your emotional needs/desires

Getting older and shit; realizing that I life in the suburbs sounds terrifying to me, but it’s what most of the people in my life are working towards

    I really felt like I just worked and sat around.

    2 or so years ago I finally got more time in the day, and a better, less stressful job, finally. I have been using a lot of that extra energy to make funny videos on the internet, something I wanted to do since like, 2006. I really couldn't do it when I was stressed out and poor. That's why almost all people who make videos online are pretty comfortable or maybe even loaded before they even start.

    I'm not even getting crazy with it or investing a ton of time, not making any money yet, although soon I will be making 3, 4, maybe even 8 cents a month in a few months or so, because I'm at like 9k followers and they give you money after 10k, wowie. I don't think I'll ever make real money on there because there are only a handful of people making real money and they post completely general-appeal videos, I will never do that

    It's decently fulfilling. Some of them are actually really funny, a couple serious ones but mostly just fun positive vibes. It's just recreational art that uses some of my strengths, as opposed to like trying to make music or paint or something, which for me particularly, would have required a much bigger time investment before I would be at all proud of it, and I'd probably never like a drawing as much as a funny video tbh
