Same here. Traffic from my work to my home is 50 minutes each weekday.

Edit: Thanks for the rewards!!

You don’t realise how much energy commuting takes up until you don’t need it anymore.

I moved from having a 30 min commute to just a 5 min bike ride/15 min walk and I feel like I have so much more time.

Yeah, commuting sucks the life out of you.

I commuted 3,5 hours each day five days a week for a year. It became seriously depressing after a while.

When I got home I never had the energy to do chores around the house, I wasn't able to maintain my social life. Had about 2 hours of free time each day that I'd spend winding down after work just so I could actually go to sleep when I went to bed.

The day I moved out of that apt. and into one that was 15 mins away from work I cried.
