That was very well explicated!
And so relatable. The survival anxiety.."How will I live?" Even little kids have it now.
I was thinking about a friend of my daughter - a girl who wants to go to Stanford - because she thinks that in the new economy that will earn her a job - that will pay well enough to approach paying off her loans and rent and whatever it is probably entails a 60+ hour work week.
She's 15 and she acts like she's 55. No play. No fun. Just grind. There are a lot of kids like that - who don't even know what jobs will be available after they graduate and everything has been automated and outsourced.
All they know is study. Get a little sleep. Eat something. Study. Repeat. Forever.
Grind, grind, grind.
YOU sound better than fine. YOU sound well. It's the SYSTEM that is broken.
One more hug.
