Rants: I’ve come to the conclusion that the world has collectively forgotten how to dri…

I’ve realized that the older I get, the more I appreciate the joy of doing absolutely nothing. In college, I was always chasing the next party or the next big event, convinced that if I wasn't busy, I was wasting my youth. Now, I find bliss in lazy Sunday mornings spent in my pajamas, sipping coffee, and staring out the window. Maybe it’s the secret to happiness; just sitting with your thoughts, i...

I can't be the only one who finds it infuriating when people brag about their 80-hour work weeks like it’s a badge of honor. You’re not a hero for burning out and sacrificing your personal life; you’re just perpetuating a toxic culture that glorifies overwork. How about we start celebrating people who actually take vacations, spend time with their families, or pursue hobbies? It’s about time we re...

I’ve come to the conclusion that the world has collectively forgotten how to drive. It’s like the simple act of merging onto a highway has become a game of “who can cut off who first.” It’s infuriating to watch people weave in and out at 60 mph, while I’m just trying to get to work without losing my sanity.

Is it just me, or did we forget how to share the road like we should share opinions—respectfully and with a little patience?

I’ve come to realize that the phrase “follow your passion” is one of the most misleading pieces of advice out there. We’re all told to chase what we love, but what if what you love doesn’t pay the bills? So here I am, stuck in a job I tolerate while doodling in my sketchbook during lunch breaks, dreaming of a world where I can monetize my passion. Sometimes I wonder if my “real” life is the one I ...
