Honestly, this. I was just thinking the other day, the hard bedrock beneath it all that keeps me going is the fact that I put my nephews and nieces as beneficiaries on my life insurance policy. If I want to make their lives a little easier, I’m going to have to begrudgingly keep going until the inevitable finds its way to me on its own.
Thankfully, my day job is usually enjoyable. I’m just not going out of my way to prolong myself. I’m over halfway to retirement age and can barely get by on what I make - the idea of saving for retirement is laughable. I’m lucky if I don’t have to touch my savings in a given month, but most of the time I’m shifting money in and out because try as I desperately do to save, I’m barely breaking even. Hopefully this Friday I’ll be able to add a few bucks again and finally have over $2000 in savings for the first time since my ex dicked me over last year. Hopefully. Life has been… relentless.

Look at this guy, with a healthy enough mental status to even WANT to get out of bed.
I keep hoping that my apartment will be flooded, and I’ll drown in my sleep.
Then I remember I’m on the 5th floor.
I wake up angry and disappointed every day. And it usually takes me a couple of hours to work my way out of bed.
I keep hoping I’ll wake up and it haven all been some twisted dream. 🤷♂️
~Anyway, I hope your day doesn’t suck too bad!~
Legit good to hear that im not alone but sorry you’re going through it too
