Antiwork

Genuinely scared of growing up and facing all the shit I’m going to have to deal with…

Not giving my age obviously, but I'm not old enough to move out I'll say that much. I constantly see people's personal stories online, crazy behavior from large companies, and terrible attitudes towards these issues from the wealthy. “Just work harder and smarter” Absolutely delusional. Anyways, I'm not looking forward to what lies ahead. I see first hand how hard my parents work at their jobs to just afford housing costs as middle class/lower middle class. They don't even have low paying jobs. I don't see how I'm going to be able to take care of myself and I think unless I do something drastic I'll have to stay with them for awhile. I like them a lot, but I think I'll be missing out on some important experiences. Right now I'm working a lot to get good grades so I can possibly get into a college and then eventually…

I constantly see people's personal stories online, crazy behavior from large companies, and terrible attitudes towards these issues from the wealthy. “Just work harder and smarter” Absolutely delusional. Anyways, I'm not looking forward to what lies ahead. I see first hand how hard my parents work at their jobs to just afford housing costs as middle class/lower middle class.

I like them a lot, but I think I'll be missing out on some important experiences. Right now I'm working a lot to get good grades so I can possibly get into a college and then eventually a job which might not even be enough at the pace we're going. My college sibling tried to move out, but even with a good job he couldn't afford a small house with 4 roommates. My passions definitely don't align with money. I've given myself three options. 1. Try to pursue my passion and risk most likely fail to make enough money and be forced to stay at my parents' 2. Get my degree and a high paying job and most likely be miserable 3. Move to another country. Not kidding.

This is written from the perspective of a paranoid, unexperienced, most certainly irrational, and confused individual. I try to keep all this speculation at the back of my mind, but it's all incredibly stressful and depressing. If you're this far into the post, thanks for reading this mess.

TLDR My future is probably fucked
