I just want to say “fuck a job i really like spending time with my family!” 😂. All to say your feelings are very very valid! Please don’t think that you’re the problem that you need to “fix” by going to therapy or som (unless u really want to ofc). Honestly it’s a hard place to be at. I also realized that I’m never gonna love work. There’s probably no dream job for me because at the end of the day I’ll still be working around someone elses schedule which like u said “ruins it.” Because of that i realize that i have two options. 1) start a “side hustle” and work for myself, because altho not easy nor fun all the time, i can 1) set my own hours 2)pick my own clients (I’m not working with clients just listing pros), 3) work from anywhere (goodbye 30+ min drive to work!), and 4) make money doing the things that I like. And yes monetizing ruins it too but at least you get to be on your own schedule and work on your terms? 2nd option is find a job where the labor to income/time ratio makes sense for you. A job that doesn’t require too much out of you, and has a good enough compensation for you to feel “satisfied” and that allows you to have more free time that u can invest into your hobbies! I hope this helps but you’re honestly not alone. Working 40++ hours a week to potentially be able to afford a trip 10+ years down the road is a scam!
Thank you Vitana! ❤️ I don't know what's next for me quite yet, but I've been glancing and freelance for the past few weeks and considering it. Maybe I'll bite the bullet. Hopefully we can both find a GREAT effort to income ratio and get out of this mess!
