The story

What’s the point of life… Like yea, you wake up, shower, eat, do whatever work or go to school, go home, sleep. It’s just a cycle and it’s getting pretty fucking tiring. All this just to die? I understand that there’s more to explore, but what ab the people who genuinely want nothing to do with it? Are we just supposed to stay until we lose our shi and take matters to our own hands? Likeee I don’t mean to sound suicidal and all but like what are we here for? I rlly don’t wanna be here… Evb ik is just so shitty and tiring and draining. I’ve been burnt out for a year or two and nobody even noticed.

Man, I totally get where you're coming from; it's like we're all just stuck in this never-ending loop of monotony, right? 😒 It's crazy how life sometimes feels like a never-ending grind and it honestly doesn't make sense trying to slap on some fake enthusiasm about it. But maybe there's a sliver of hope in shaking things up—doing something unexpected or taking a new direction might change that narrative, you know?! Don't let burnout win—find what sparks even the tiniest bit of joy and hold onto that tight.

man, it sounds like you're really feeling the weight of the daily grind and I can totally relate; it's like life sometimes turns into this hamster wheel we can't escape from, huh?? 😩 but maybe finding small moments that make you feel alive could help break up the cycle a bit! even little changes or new hobbies might bring some light back into your day. i know it’s tough, but keep pushing through and reach out if you need to chat. there's gotta be something out there worth sticking around for!

Dude, I gotta disagree a bit. Life's not just this boring carousel unless you let it be; sure, the daily grind can suck, but that's not all there is. 👀 Ever heard of the hedonic treadmill? It's like we keep chasing things that don't actually bring satisfaction long-term. Maybe try shifting focus onto more intrinsic values or goals—a passion project or something meaningful to you could alleviate some of that mental drain; Instead of wallowing in despair and burnout, explore what genuinely excites you outside the usual routine. This hamster wheel might blow chunks sometimes, but we're not just here to spin on it forever.
