i am middle aged man, i experienced life since before even computer and smartphone is a thing like today.

back then, i feel that life is much easier, what i mean easier is more simple life, less competition, less stress, fresh environment, and more happiness despite lack of technology.

but right now, everything is just too complicated despite of power of tech, internet, smartphone, and AI helps, i feel that life is much harder right now, what i mean is like competition is everywhere, stressful everyday, crowded city, and i easily depressed these days.

is it just me or everyone else can relate to what happens right now?

Yes it is, we are being squeezed! We have less ways out. I'm far better than I ever was, actually have better health, and fitness. Yet, it is hopeless.

i am suprised you still motivated enough to keep health and fitness in check despite of how bad things going on right now

I mostly don't, my job forced me to be fit and lean. I at most hydrate, shower, and shave. I eat whatever garbage I can, and sleep in a dump.

My father revealed a secret. If he feels it is funny to just have secret income while letting me handle the debt, it's going to be less funny when I give my 2 weeks in October. Maybe I will survive, or maybe kill myself. Will see.

But I can't be sane with this kind of job, need to self-correct.
