re: #43 brookly red

growing up i thought it was having a good job, a home to call your own, a family, some pets maybe, and in general being happy.

Now it seems it’s keeping or finding a shitty job, hoping to keep the home you have and that you don’t lose the marriage/family over money and stress issues. Pets are secondary (and sadly I’ve seen a lot end up in shelters because owners couldn’t afford them) and in general staying “above water”.
