Show PostYou should just be able to find your little niche in the world & stay there comfortably if it’s what makes you happy. That’s literally all being human is about. Just hanging out and doing something helpful. We made up all this other shit and it’s making everyone miserable, bc there’s no finish line.

Show PostMy Dad worked at urban markets his whole life. No career ambitions, he just liked the energy & routine working the sole register at a little shop. He has a rent freeze apartment he lived in til the day he died. Never wanted more. He found success & stopped there. In his era you could still do that.
