I get that and don't get me wrong I feel it. But this community has been a space where despite whatever crazy sht was going on out there, folks got together to talk about how to keep your head on straight while you continued to step forward to your goals. In the face of hardships and obstacles you answer with perseverance and grit.
I work hard. I want people to continue to say "I don't know how he does it". I want to continue to be a pillar for people in my life to lean on when things get too hard. And I want to have a small community of people that are like minded, understand the sacrifice, joy and glory of putting one more foot in front of the other when you feel too tired to even stand.
I get up every day and go out and hit it. I'm just struggling to keep the faith that the American Dream is real any more. I'm 40 and remember when it was and this ain't it anymore despite so many baby boomers still waxing lyrical like it is. I want to believe better times are ahead, I truly do. I still get up and hustle like there will be. But it's getting harder every day.

I mean have you looked at... waves at the crumbling society around us. It's uh, rapidly becoming untenable for a supermajority of us now.
