This is a concept that's been very hard for me to internalize. Getting an Apple Watch has been good for setting better activity habits and it's helped me track my progress better but it's still hard for me to keep applying this thought process to other stuff in my life.

I was more thinking it feels like I've been drug so far back that if I get released I'll just go splat and die from the amount of force behind the draw. I guess that logic could be extended to those who are homeless because they still definitely have it worse than me.

I don't think happiness is directly proportional to expectations. I think happiness lays within the journey to where you place your reality. I say "your" reality because two people can live side by side and perceive the world differently. Each would then define their realities differently, perhaps one is happy and the other isn't.

​

Expectations are very arbitrary and dynamic so I won't even go there.

I'm not talking about me and I'm not shitting on anyone. There's just a lot of people detached from the scenario of the average person like you who make these tone death posts.

Go and ask an average worker what hobbies and passions they pursued as kids and why they dont do them now.

Answer will be money, money, money and time.

Go work a 12 hour manual shift and see how inclined you are to pick up your talent of swimming afterwards.

Seen 7 different iterations of this stupid shit in the last week alone. It was dumb the first time, and it's still dumb now.
