Yeah, I made a bunch of money, felt really stressed, had very little time, and lost touch with my personality.
Then I spent a bunch of money on therapy and changing my whole life. Now I’m poor and stressed, but I’m spending more of my time how I want to and I feel much more myself.
Same here. I spent my entire childhood being told by family and teachers how I could really make a difference as a reseacher or a philosopher or a doctor or whatever else. I hate engaging with “book knowledge”. Nobody ever bothered to factor that in 😅 All I really want is to create things with my hands. My mind is a nice asset when it comes to trivia or logical puzzles but I’m just not wired for academia.

Also, nobody respects anything less than an expert
But everybody respects a good solid table.
Which it turns out is actually really fucking hard to make.
