Whenever I spend money on takeout instead of eating something frozen at home or going to the store to get groceries, I feel guilty because that's money I also need for the most basic things like bills, insurance, whatever. I hate how the people in charge get all the benefits and have so much extra money, while people like me are so underpaid that I feel bad for spending money on literally just a sandwich or something. I totally understand the argument that you should be careful spending money on stuff like takeout, clothes, movies, or other expenses. But also like…it's so basic, society shouldn't even be in a place where that's an issue.

I can see things getting worse so I started to casually look for a new job. After only a couple weeks, I found a job and was offered a position for basic help desk (which is fine since that's…

I am so fed up with everything that is going on in America. I work in healthcare and I fucking hate what it has become. Nothing more than another corporation to make the rich richer. I really wish I could just say fuck everything! I want to pack up a livable van and take off. I cannot even afford to do that because the capitalism has decided that credit is important than my sanity. I am so ready to tell the man to fuck off.
