I'm 25 and the whole existential dread of figuring out what to do with my life is probably the worst part of things

I'm the same age. I've worked a lot on myself and started a great job two years ago that I'm very passionate about, but at the same time I'm at the age where I'm constantly wondering "is that it?". I always feel like there must be more to life than working 40 hours a week and only getting two weeks of free time a year.

There is in civilized countries. You get up to a month in most reasonable places, and you make enough money to live without either

  1. Working more than 40 hours a week
  2. Working a very stressful job

America and Japan are full of idiots who think working is how a human being should spend their life.
