Funny how when you’re a kid, you always wanted to be home alone, then when you reach adulthood, suddenly that shit aint funny anymore, it’s bleak…
fuck that, it’s bliss
Give it time.
As an adult I can drive to see other people or have them over, but also can choose to just be alone too!
That’s why people have hobbies
That’s why people have pets
And partners
I think for most kids not being under constant supervision is what sweetens the deal.
But once you’re an adult you don’t really need to answer to anyone, so now you’re only getting the downsides…
But given the choice of relative freedom vs. having to live with someone who I don’t really get along with, I’d pick the former. Even if it means being alone more often.
Original hedonism:
Withold pleasure so it feels intense when you get it.
sounds like a dream! in fact, it’s my dream! and i’m living it woo
Can’t even just cut down some trees and build my own house somewhere because land isn’t free and someone else owns the trees. 😬
Sometimes I miss those days. So little responsibility. Renting was so much easier than home ownership. Living alone was way easier than having a family. All I HAD to do was go to work, and pay my bills. All of my time, all of my money, all up to my discretion.
Not to say I don’t love my family or my house, and I would never trade them to go back. But sometimes, if I could go back in time for just a week… I think I’d be really refreshed. A time vacation.
my partner suggested at any time i could take my own vacation just to get a break from life. get a hotel somewhere and not have to worry about the house or chores. havent done it but it seems like a healthy thing to have. try it!
You’re either buying labor power or you’re a wage slave.
Our jobs might as well provide us housing & food since we’re basically prisoners there and can’t afford anything else anyway.
