Finding the will to keep doing my job for a corporate overlord.
There's so much I want to do and build and create. But I have people who rely on me and we've tied our survival onto capital and I don't have any generational wealth to have capital to risk on any things I want to learn and create. Which, the things I want to make I don't want to "make money" off of them in the first place. I just want to give back and help people, I always have. But the only way to survive in this world that I didn't agree to is with a profit motive.
Very first world problem, I know, I've been somewhat privileged and lucky up to this point. The only reason I was able to afford college is because my mother chose to become a professor so her children could get tuition remission. Which they've tried to remove from professors several times over the decades.
It's just like...why can't we be human to each other?
