experiencing a sort of come-to-jesus moment where I realize that I subject myself to the pain that I thought the world was subjecting me to. this sounds vaguely profound in the abstract but it's actually about deadlines and a sense of dread re: obligations
I could probably find some sort of way to blame capitalism for this, but if I extrapolate from what I've learned about myself from experience, the truth is that I would find a way to torture myself in this arena even if I were 100% financially independent
I have multiple overdue deadlines that I entirely set for myself, and all I want to do is to go off on random tangents exploring random fun things. I don't even have a boss to get mad at. and my wife is supportive of my nonsense. so truly it boils down to a game of me vs me
