>>7582026First of all, I just want to say I fucking love these threads.
There's always a place on 4chan for shits and giggles, and there's always a place here where you can just let it all out with no strings attached.
There's a lot of transition going on in my life right now, with graduating college, starting my new job next month, moving out and saying goodbye to friends, etc.
But I tried to watch something new on Hulu recently that had a message that really hit me in the gut. In fact, it might have hit me in the gut too hard.
I don't really like anime, but I gave the series "Black Lagoon" a chance, and this was what I walked away with:
One of the major themes was about how in the white collar world we're all stuck in this rat race that never seems to end.
We wake up
We go to work
We get pushed around by management
We get our paycheck
We go home and pay our bills
Rinse and repeat for 40+ years and then we retire
This disturbed the shit out of me. I just don't understand how our parents never lost their fucking sanity from this.
To me this is no way to live, and I'm actually afraid. I want to go explore the world, I want to live a fruitful life of experiences, I want to be outside and do what I want without being told.
Ever since I watched that show, I've been having trouble sleeping at night.
I just want to escape the rat race.
