I’m lucky enough to earn a comfortable wage so I tend to buy things that I want throughout the year.
Many people in my position seem to only want things that unfortunately cannot be gifted. More hours in the day. Less suffering in the world. More time with loved ones. Less global disarray.
Lol wtf is this comment?? A person died and I wish I could spend time with them and your response is “well you probably chose not to spend time with them when they were alive.”
That’s a totally reasonable and measured response…
i gotta say, this is seemingly a rare thing these days. That’s not always easy and I appreciate you. Absolutely accept your apology and i hope you have a fantastic day!
I think I’ve written 3-4 different comments over the last 15 minutes here, and I don’t know what the right thing to answer is, but I loathe to leave you hanging. To put things shortly, and not get too rambly, what little future I can see is shaky, and I hate the song & dance of the holidays. I need some time for R&R, and a change of pace from my daily life.
Yeah, I don’t usually visit shops specifically for that. In fact even if I do visit a store that has those items, I usually forget that’s even a thing I have to worry about. Dunno, it’s just never on my list for some reason.
I just want to go ride my motorcycle, and not have to fit shit around everyone else’s shit and the mountain of jobs that need doing around the house (ie, never)
I am a working mom and will tell you - if you don’t schedule time for yourself you won’t get it. I prioritize sex and exercise into the schedule because if not, life and work will eat every moment. For 2024, schedule in 3 hours every weekend, or an evening or morning but every single week.
Realize that everyone is accommodating everyone else, they aren’t doing it to annoy you. You aren’t the center of the universe. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need time to recharge, plan it weekly in 2024 and let the schedule fit around you too. It will.
I just want to feel for a year, that humans aren’t going to be the death of 70% (or more,) of all living things. Including ourselves, in the near future. Most of the people I know live like hyper-ultra kings and queens of olden times. Unthinkable abundance, quick or instant to obtain things, and often, a variety of things all of our great ancestors could only dream of. And yet… People seem to believe that it’s not enough to have all of the things they do.
