    You sound like me and I am going through all this again in my 50s. I will follow your journey. Thanks for the video.

    I am 40 and unemployed for over 18 months now. Part of me is stressed and wanting stability but part of me enjoys the free time, managing my own time and plans and being able to rest and do nothing if I want to. Part of me wants to come back to routine and being part of a something (workplace) but part of me can’t be bothered with human interactions and reporting to someone.

    My last office job was in 2018, a 4-week contract. Never going back to serfdom.

    I&apos;m not sure of the last time I watched a vlog that was this aspirational. I love the fact that you don&apos;t paint the picture with unnecessary color, and you tell your story just like how it ought to be. <br><br>The aspiration of permanent work and a flat is fucking dead. When people say &quot;dream job,&quot; there&apos;s a mucus-like expulsion in my throat. <br><br>Thank you for just being authentic because, in truth, there are very few truthful things you can come across these days, particularly online. So, yeah, well done. I&apos;m subscribing.

    i&apos;m 26 and after dropping out of college at 19 after a mental breakdown i finally got a job and am going back to school.<br><br>the job was enough for a few months. i was distracted by all the new skills i needed to learn and getting to know my coworkers. <br><br>but now, almost a year into being hired, the cracks are starting to show. i often find myself wishing i could just live on a ranch somewhere and grow tomatoes. <br><br>i think this is just another example of that one life truth that is said a lot but you cannot understand until youve experienced it: happiness does not come from outside yourself. it comes from within.<br><br>until i find happiness within, the cracks will always reopen. all i can hope is that it will never be too late for us.

    Very inspiring. &nbsp;Your face is quite lit up as you face your unknown future, knowingly unknown.

  • @Strider9655 · 8 days ago

    I think you&apos;ve realised that sitting in an office just isn&apos;t the job status that you once thought it was.

    Very cool! It seems like you were striped of a safe life and you know deep down that the social contract is broken, so you’re not willing to play ball.

    Thank you for candidly sharing your story. I&apos;ve been going through the same feelings. Sometimes it can come off as ungrateful in such an unstable world. But you are right to follow your heart.

    I’m 43 and working on my 2nd career. Lately I have been feeling the same thing as you, the only difference is you had the courage to break free while I’m still tied down to my 9-5 (my security) 😅
