Meeting the status quota and waking up and living our lives day after day. Making time if we are lucky for friends and family if we aren’t too overwhelmed. Seeing the weeks and months passing by while also uncomfortably aware of what is happening in the greater picture of social political regression, and environmental degradation. While we all just try to make it to the end of the week have a couple days to recover and then it starts over again. Feeling tired and overly aware of the things we should do, call our mom, fight injustice, get a coffee with an old friend, start that business we have been talking about for year, partake in a hobby you set aside months ago and never finished, and fight for democracy.

i think it's normal. it's kind of part of life and the system we live in, where work takes up our whole week.
it's hard to find people who wanna break out of the routine://

capitalism is meant to suck the soul out of you and work you into the GROUND. it's how the gov creates soulless people that don't have the capacity to care about anyone but themselves. everyone's too tired and too concerned about their own needs being met to think of anyone else.
but people are meant to be chillin with the homies, reading books, creating art -- enjoying life!! all without the pressure to commodify their hobbies or stress about working a 9-5 just to (sometimes barely) survive!
so i've found that just accepting the fact that it's ok to not be productive is sort of a mini revolution. it gives more meaning to life than just going thru the motions of a 9-5. it gives you a larger capacity to care and form community with others, and that's something that the gov does NOT want (as seen this past year smh)
