Keep in mind, this is from the perspective of the USA.
The plan is to get rid of/sell off most of my things minus a few bare essentials by late 2025- early 2026. Rough estimate but I’ll get to where I just have a relatively small amount of things. I think I’m done with owning a lot of the stuff I currently have anyway.
I’m at the point where I’m slowly realizing that I may just be one of those people that can “own nothing and be happy”. I’m finding myself doom scrolling on social media (the few I consistantly use anyway). Youtube’s feeding me more negative viewpoints on the world and more “current day women bad, men go their own way” and I don’t like it. I’ll have to curate that better too.
I don’t know. I don’t need all that much to really survive at this point. I just want to deal with any debts I have and get better at the things I’m currently doing.
I don’t like what money has become in current culture. It’s evolved well past it’s actual use as a symbol of the exchange of goods. It’s a bullshit status symbol at this point.
I’ve become extremely jaded because for a long time, I’ve kept to myself mostly. I had friends, sure, but I wasn’t good at keeping up with most of them. I’m still bad at it. I was the loner kid who preferred to read books and learn. I miss that kid. At least he wasn’t as messed up in the head as I am now.
I really do need to learn proper self reliance so I can stop burdening the few people left in my life anyway.
Maybe I’ll move away from the states completely in 5-7 years. Who knows at this point?
I feel like I’ve deadended myself so early in my life because I was so lacking in options I thought I had or didn’t have.
Main problem is lack of money to get the things that I need to done, so I feel stuck because of it. And eventually working a 2nd job again, even part time sucks because pay will be less/not enough.
Why do so many people have to work 2-3 jobs to get by, or try to start some kind of business? If you aren’t doing that, and you aren’t single, you’re basically doomed to be unable to provide. It’s geniunely rough out there.
Anyway, I made this post because I suck at making clear goals for myself. I apparently am shit at most things in life anyway, so I’m likely going to stay single for most of my life, which I’ve accepted.
I think with the internet now especially, we’ve reached a level of self awareness that wasn’t possible before, now that we can see lives of others thousands of miles away from us on a day to day basis. We as a species aren’t meant to maintain the sheer amount of information we currently have access to. It’s insane how much we can do, but how many things burden us on a day to day.
So much about navigating life is so frustrating and it shouldn’t have to be.
