As someone with chronic illness, I ended up choosing to do what makes me happy over societal expectations. That meant going and working seasonal jobs in national parks and at ski resorts. I made no money, lived nomadically, and have had a blast. I had family pressuring me to get a real job while I watch people my age now getting houses, starting families, making 100k a year. The pressure adds up as you begin to reach your 30’s. I succumbed and got a ‘real’ job with health insurance as my condition is worsening and NOW I feel like Im rushing, trying to catch up. Hoping to go back to seasonal life after 5 years of working on my career. Stop focusing on money, stop focusing on material items that dont pertain to survival, focus on acquiring experiences and friends. Wish me luck in the rat race folks.

I think most people your age live like today is all that matters. Sm is filled with them ridiculing anyone over 40. That's old to them, and they really believe they will look live and feel the same at forty. Unfortunately for them, the people 40 and over have what they aspire to. The assumption is that they had it easy, and the bottom line is that everyone must work for what they want. It's okay to feel the way you feel just work smart and understand sustainability. The sm impact will change as you guys age. It can't last like this it breeds envy hatred and greed and insecurity.

People just can’t fathom this diet, lol — but consider the fact that our ancestors lived through ice ages that lasted a thousand years. Agriculture is very recent in human history. We’ve been hunters for hundreds of thousands of years.
