I just need a break from all this whole life thing, you know? Like the breathing and the eating and the working and paying rent and getting sick and stuff. Just for a little bit, like maybe 3 years could we all just take a nap for a bit and stop with all the everything all the time?

    Tell me about it. It's kind of like the Somme right now for me. People keep shovelling too much crap to deal with, and the problem is, no one is the bad guy, we're all just normal people fucking each other up while those behind the lines laugh.

    There used to be festivals that would go on for weeks on end. This "here's a 3 day concert that costs thousands of dollars" or here's only enough PTO to juggle between mental health days and a 4 day weekend. It's truly the worst.

    I used to say that during covid, the economy should have just ground down to a halt, no school, no college, no marketing, no tv, etc. Just chill out on a monthly 2,000 check.

    Just spend a few years dead for tax reasons. That's what the lead singer of Disaster Area did.

      I was listening to disaster area the other day. Not by choice, it just turns out that if you're loud enough sound can propagate through the interstellar medium. Fortunately the damage wasn't structural.

    I feel like I actually need to start life. Working shitty jobs + recovery from all the surgeries means I've been in a semi permanent limbo for the past few years

    I feel like I'm trying to keep plates spinning on sticks and every few days someone tosses a new plate at me.

    I think this thought most days. If time could stop for a couple years I might feel like I could face the next couple months without popping.

      I day dream about being able to step out of time and go hang out on what is basically a perfect beach where there are no sand fleas, no dangerous animals, the temperature is always perfect, there are never hurricanes, there's a spectacular one hour rain store every day at 4pm, and the atmosphere is just deep enough that you never have to worry about sun screen. Sort of just step behind the veil and go chill on the beach that isn't real. Maybe never come back.

        There's probably somewhere on earth that's been like that for centuries. Having very dark skin gets you close to no sun screen.

    imo president of US should be replaced with authoritarian commie mommy who tells us all to shut up close our eyes and put our heads down on our desks heads up 7 up style, then leave us like that for several years
