The problem is now that I can afford to do whatever I want, sleep whenever I want, and eat whatever I want, my body can’t afford to.

I would prefer it if only my decisions affected my life, and not the decisions of other people. Want a well-paying job you're already good at? Better hope that another person decides you deserve it. Same with getting a place to live. It was quite a shock when I learned you had to fucking interview to rent an apartment, and may not be approved even if you have the money.

I'm am withheld by capitalism from making the choices I want.

I absolutely love it.

Honestly being in my 30s is pretty great.

And yet people will still treat you like a naive kid if you deviate from the norm too much.

It took me years before realizing I needed to change how I ask questions to college admissions. I did 15 years of compulsory education for nothing because I was held to a lower standard then I even tested for. Being railroaded into CC because of that was not something I was willing to do when I finally got legal agency.

Despite making it very clear that I would rather redo 4 years of high school then do 2 years of college, no one suggested I just redo the CC classes at a 4 year. I had to be in a particularly undiplomatic mood to insist that I was asking a policy question, not a life advice question when I inquired if it was possible to redo classes I already got credits for.

Ain't it fun

Livin' in the real world?
