I’ve no idea how this crisis actually plays out.
This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it’s a twelve-storey crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying ‘This Is a Large Crisis’. A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me two pencils and a pair of underpants.
(Blackadder quote from series 4)
Idk, my 20’s were not great, and my 30’s aren’t looking too much better but trying to stay positive. The main difference is I’m learning to cope and adjusting my expectations drastically.
I think restructuring cities and communities to be walkable tight-knit environments would certainly help. Give people reasons to interact outside the house. Give people the time to interact outside the house. Help people achieve a purpose and meaning in life instead of feeling like a cog in a wealth machine.
If we’re all just struggling to get by, it’s no wonder the youth feel despair.
To end this on a happier note, I’ve been starting to think of ways that I can reduce my footprint and still live as comfortable life as possible. I’m aiming for as low expenses that I can manage, along with working the least amount possible. I just don’t really see a point to working my ass off now. I at least have some youth. Might as well enjoy it while I can.
I have no idea how to achieve this yet. But my mindset is there, so I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually.
