Sometimes I really just want to quit everything and... Everything is too much and too little at the same time. Too much responsibility, too little time to really LIVE this short life we have. Was I destined to build friggin' SharePoint sites and tell people to think about the people behind things?!

We're now completely debt/mortgage free and we have land to grow our own stuff on (including hops!) but will have to work for at least another 10 years both, and while that seems privileged and it is, it also feels an eternity.
Like, it's not that I am giving up, or that I'm big time suffering; I'm in fact quite privileged in SO MANY WAYS, and yet so powerless still to escape the hamster wheel of neoliberalism/capitalism... It's impossible in this world to feel GOOD I feel sometimes.
I’m keeping one Matt Gross essay in my inbox, about the death of slacker culture. A generation ago, creative people could get low-stress / low-pay jobs and make art. That’s way harder to pull off now.
