Literally just quit my job so I can take a "sabbatical" (my resumé word for "taking 18 hour naps instead of dealing with incompetent upper management"). ✌️

Lol same
Now on month 26 of "taking a few months off to recharge." After 2 years, I realized no one in tech wants me on my terms, so I got a couple of shitty part-time jobs instead. Fuck 'em.
I do have to admit it sucks sometimes of course, but now I never lay awake at night thinking about work. When I leave work, I dont give it much additional thought beyond making sure I get enough hours (because even between two jobs, I cant afford daycare for both kids over the summer.)
Low key? Nah. I am mentally ill, full-on high key.

I’m not saying touch grass, but…go for a nice walk outside. It’ll change your perspective. Sometimes the things you think are true aren’t true.
I'm almost there. I want to sleep my life away, or rather sleep on my own terms. Whether people like me or not, not a problem. That used to bother me but not anymore.
What if I'm mid-key mentally ill though?
