There are a lot of people who work hard and put in real effort who will probably be upset by this, or assume I have no goal and that I'm lazy. And honestly, there's some truth to that, especially lately.

But I don't really care about having money just for the sake of having money. What I care about is freedom. And I know that in this world, the only realistic way to get there is to have a massive amount of money.

I've done a few internships and went through 2 job interviews, and just seeing the whole work environment makes me feel miserable. Even if the salary was good, the idea of being stuck there drains me.

Right now I'm living off investments, and that covers the bills, but after that there isn't much left. The little I do have is better saved so I can grow it more later. But that "later" still feels so far away.

Working a job would make that process go much faster, but there's something in my mind that would rather disappear into the forest than work a normal job. I honestly don't know how to explain it; I just can't force myself to want that.

I also have no idea what career I might even want to pursue. I just needed to put this thought somewhere. In my head, I find myself defending unemployed people because I understand them, but at the same time I know the bills have to be paid and life doesn't care how you feel.

I wish I could thank every worker keeping the world running, because society needs them. But for me, I'm just not made for work.

I'm a 22-year-old woman and I don't know if there's anything to look forward to

I didn't go to college because I didn't want to put that expense on my family. I've been working in kitchens since I was 15, and now I've become a very good line cook at a respectable place in the city.

But recently I've started to feel like this might be the closest thing I'll ever be able to reach to a real career, and honestly I can't stand it. The work hours are exhausting, alcohol is everywhere, I constantly have to deal with disgusting men at work, and my body feels like it's already worn out.

Between everything around me feeling broken right now, and the life I've found myself in, I've become unable to see any meaning in the future. I don't know. Can remote jobs help in a situation like mine, or would I just be swapping one miserable thing for another miserable thing? I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice.
