this used to tank my mental health so bad, just constantly feeling guilty cause im not working and achieving shit like my peers, but then i realized that it's all bullshit and you can just enjoy your life instead
dont get me wrong, self-improvement is important, but hustle culture is toxic as fuck and makes people feel like shit about themselves. some people dont give a shit about careers and ambitions and just want to vibe
Don't fucking tell me about it. "What, you haven't picked up any new skills from lockdown ? No languages learned ? No physical progress ? Didn't try an instrument or whatever ? Damn you fucking suck, you will end up as a destitute pariah and a leech on society." The people who unironically think this should be put on a high-priority list for the gulags, as they often are unironic supporters of neoliberalism. People are ready to do something when they are flipping ready, and not one second before. Some don't want to partake in capitalism at all, and I sure won't blame anyone for that.
