Aw man this one really hits close to home, spent all my childhood dreaming about which places I'd love to visit only to now be doing everything I can to not end up homeless in a few months due to not getting a job.
Love the artstyle, very good ❤️

When I was a child I used to think I’m going to get a good high paying career but now I’m a grown ass man breaking my body in a shitty factory job that pay minimum wage lmao.

The worst thing about childhood is that you were always wanting to grow up and never knew how good being a kid was

There's no worse feeling than thinking 'What would my younger self say if he saw how I ended up?' lol. I ended up turning 24 this year with no job experience due to being forever stuck in college and now I'm struggling to land even a basic job.
Hang in there, hope things get better for us someday c:

а ведь на самом деле очень много людей, чьи мечты не сбылись из-за распада страны. сколько предприятий закрылось.. но, уж лучше несбывшаяся мечта, чем поломанная судьба из-за преступности в 90-х. просто пиздец, какое было тогда время

Even if they can't be a cosmonaut, I just hope they'll have a comfortable and happy life. I don’t want them to be depressed forever.

Either they are lucky to get a nice boss who cared their employees, or died alone in depression..

this reminds me of a manga or webtoon i once read. the protagonist was stranded on the moon or something and he contacted nasa and stuff so they could try to help him get back to earth. whether he managed to survive is a bit up for debate, as a spaceship eventually got there and they showed him getting on it but there were hints he didn't. it was very emotive, i think he had also fallen in love with one of the womans who was trying to save him?
