Coming to terms with the fact that I have never been very important. Trying to be content with my long, shallow footprint. Was i there? Can you even tell? It's okay to go. It's no different than being physically ill. Some people aren't made to last, and that's just nature. That's the truth. For all my strong emotions, none of them were strong enough to tether me here. There can be beauty in giving up, too.

if he would just unblock me that would help ease so much of my pain. Somewhere where I know, like tiktok or discord.

I won't reach out but it makes me feel better if I'm actually choosing not to reach out, rather than not having a choice. Is that stupid?

I'm just asking for something small that would go a really long way towards making my day to day less painful. It would make this bearable

Japan’s complete lack of understanding of declining birth rates in relation to its work culture reminds me a lot of how America has an assumption that millennials are killing industries when the truth is they are more frugal because of a lack of funds.

Both come from a conservative mindset that neglects the impact that a toxic work culture can have on society.

A 80+ hour work week in order to maintain financial stability isn’t exactly a solid ground to date people and eventually build a family from a healthy relationship.

A workforce comprised of 20 somethings that make between 20-40k a year in entry positions isn’t a good ground to build a reliable consumer base when a huge chunk of that is going to rent, utilities, car payments, and student loans.

This is a fascinating connection, you should write a paper on this

I am convinced that, in general, people want to have families. Many, if not most, would be happy to raise children. But in order to have children and raise them, especially to do so well, people need happy, stable relationships, financial security and time to devote to - you know - actually raising the child. You need both money and time to do that. If people are not given the time and means to be able to create social connections and strong relationships, to devote to parenthood and family, then they are not going to do it. How can they?

If anything Millennials are out there trying to prove that we’re better potential parents than our parents were, because we’re practicing safe sex, using contraception and abortion to make sure we’re not bringing a child into a life that’s a financial mess where we’re working too many hours to even raise the kid. Prior generations complain that we were raised by TV and video games, and that may be true, but the thing is, we know that the reason we had to be raised by TV and video games is that their workaholic butts were never home to do it themselves, and we’re not going to do that to the next kids. And that may mean not having kids until conditions are right.
