I just don’t really see the point. Not in a su*c*dal way, just in a “what the heck are we even living for at this point?” way. My parents keep nagging me to be successful in life and earn a lot of money and have retirement…but with the way the world is going, what the heck is the point of hustling so hard? I just want to live in an isolated place and do farming or whatever. I don’t wanna compete with other people to climb an imaginary ladder to flex about worldly things I won’t even take with me to the grave. Or my descendants will probably throw away or forget about. And I’m sick and tired of everyone telling me to invest my money or save up. What the heck is the point if I’m slaving away anyway and don’t get to enjoy the money when I’m already too old to even leave my bed. I just don’t understand this. Granted, we moved to America to “have a better life” but in reality life was better back home in East Asia. I just don’t understand why we just blindly and collectively agree that money should run the world. People romanticizing their life on tiktok? I don’t get what the point is if it’s fake. Even when I try and go to a church, it’s all so materialistic and judgmental and so much drama. That or they’re all in their own worlds. Idk. Maybe I’m trying to look for a different and a more encouraging perspective because I just feel like everything is so superficial and fake. And I’m gonna die anyway so what the heck is the point? I’m in my late 20s btw. Maybe it’s just a midlife crisis…
Edit:
I’ve been reading through the comments and I’m genuinely grateful for those who share their wisdom and advice. I know that my mindset is very negative but honestly I’m seeing things in a different perspective. I am still young but I feel like I’ve lived for so long. Maybe because the world has also gone through and is going through so much in my lifetime. I look forward to reading more and learning more from everyone. Thank you in advance!
