Are you living life or are you just surviving?

[DreamLife7]

Are you just working and paying bills or do you actually get out and enjoy life?

[SotiCoto]

Why would enjoying life involve getting out? In all your infinite ignorance are you suggesting that enjoying life can't be done indoors?
For shame.

For real though I'm just waiting to die. Occasionally getting out and waiting to die.

[MikeTheBartender]

I feel like I get out and enjoy my life a lot more than the average person, but still don't feel like it is to the max. However, I am more or less retiring from normal work within a year or two. So I will certainly amp it up then.

[sage2021]

Just surviving it, which isn't easy these days.

One day seems to roll into the next. Same old sh*t.

But there's always paperwork that has to be done, paying bills, reading the mail. Hum drum.

[Agape93]

Life is survival, unless you're complacent, then you're just an unwitting victim of those who are surviving.

[IslaTheWitch]

I'm putting a lot of effort to live my life... but last few weeks were pure survival... but now is good, I again enjoy every day :)

[provokeesmokee]

I'm thriving, now. Took time to build my life to this point, but well worth it.

[NathanDavis]

with these temperatures... I am surviving, lol

[Finchie40]

Right now I am trying to survive because I can’t land a friggin job after I got laid off , having a hell of a time

[LiZiqiLiZiqi]

I enjoy life more, and my work and income are growing steadily.

[Flatmanlewis]

I try to find the balance but I feel like surviving was slightly in the lead for a while there.

Hedonistic needs and other pointless frivolities gives some people illusionary feeling of being alive. At the end it doesn't really matter.

[DreamLife7]

You sound depressed, friendless, and unloved. Girl get therapy

[Opinion Owner]

I'm like a prehistoric crocodile that waits for opportunity to make prey, without any emotional bipolarity or desire for emotional gratification.

[DreamLife7]

You sound mentally unstable , cringe and like you're trying to be cool. Not buying it get a therapist

[Opinion Owner]

You're reacting with invectives to obvious kidding, I'm not sure if I'm the person who needs a therapy.

[DreamLife7]

You sound suicidal u need help

[TheSpaceGnome]

Actually hedonism is the literal point of living.

Joy is the thing that matters the most, and it matters whether a person dies in a week, or in 1 million years, so the current 80-100 that most people deal with is completely irrelevant to whether or not joy matters. Calling is an illusion is objectovely retarded.

Congrats, you're now emotionless, AND dumb.

[TheSpaceGnome]

objectively*

[Nirmroth]

Living life, working to just exist and pay bills would be depressing as hell

[DrPepper12]

Poor health robs you of living your best life unfortunately

[Bricealan]

At this point without an SO, ... paying bills, and doing what I can to be active.

[Loner111]

Surviving, but I'm slowly starting to enjoy life more instead of just saving, saving, saving all the time. Which in turn, it is helping me cope with life stresses and making me happier.

[DJB72]

In survival mode right now, but getting a grip on moving forward again.

[exitseven]

I am working hard and getting my chores done. I do not have much time for fun.

[Omar5881]

I suffer from severe mental illness so i just barley get by in the last six years

[Anonymous]

I make enough to get by and not think about how much I'm spending at the bar, but honestly I don't feel free. I want FU money

[avery58]

Surviving for now

[Simslover92]

Just surviving at this point.

[DreamLife7]

Girrrl why?

[Simslover92]

My salary is not where it should be. I have a Masters and only making 36k a year. I'm just basically living paycheck to paycheck.

[DreamLife7]

Wait a minute! What field are you in because 36k with a masters doesn't make sense

[Simslover92]

Librarian. I live in South Carolina and work for the state. They pay very little here.

[DreamLife7]

I just seen that on your post. I'm in NC, the metropolitan area. They pay more have you ever thought of going there?

[Simslover92]

Yes I have but my boyfriend lives in SC and I don't want to further the distance between us. I am trying to get a job where he lives in SC. The pay is much better there. They go up to $58k there.

[DreamLife7]

Yes, Charleston and Myrtle Beach area pay more I believe

[DreamLife7]

Or even being a teacher? If you have your masters you can teach a librarian program

[Simslover92]

Yes, that's where he lives. Charleston. They pay way more there!

[Simslover92]

Yeah I thought about that too. I may do that as well.

[DreamLife7]

Yeah, you have a lot of options j

[Simslover92]

Yeah I do! I'm going to be applying everywhere and see which one I can get! Thanks! 😊

[DreamLife7]

You're welcome and good luck. A coworker had the same degree as you and was hired full-time at a school for special needs kids. Then she worked evenings at the library

[EmmaMary]

Fortunately still living life to full.

[Account]

I am doing what I can.

[Somoneelse]

Mostly survivalmode lately.

[Dargil]

I'm getting by just fine.

[jamesgoldman]

Living life, gold is treating me good
