the reason people are unhappy

is a collection of issues that can be reduced to things like not knowing the reason for one's existence, money, love, not being someone’s priority, trust, and even expectations. even though many things eventually lead back to expectations, the real problem seems to be the brain...

going to work in leggings

as a man, it’s not something I have a problem with. actually, forget the leggings... how did we even lose skirts to women? it would’ve been amazing if we could wear them.

people who explain a simple situation in an excessively long way

are extremely exhausting. they drain your life energy. while telling a story, they provide so many unnecessary details that the topic keeps dragging on and expanding endlessly. To a large extent, they also drift away from the main point that was supposed to be conveyed. as a result, the listener’s interest decreases and they can no longer fully focus on the subject.

quarter life crisis

it hits quietly. one day you’re “young with potential,” the next you’re calculating years in excel sheets. career path not as linear as promised. relationships not as stable as imagined. the degree that was supposed to unlock doors feels like a very expensive pdf. social media makes it worse because everyone else appears to be accelerating while you feel stuck buffering. you start questioning decisions you made at 18 with the confidence of someone who had zero real information. the crisis isn’t dramatic. it’s subtle. it’s waking up and realizing adulthood doesn’t come with a clear map, just trade-offs. some people pivot. some double down. some pretend everything is fine. most are improvising.

dark mode

once you switch, light mode feels like staring into a hospital ceiling.
