That word alone tastes like cold fluorescent lights, hollow handshakes, and a slow, soul-crushing erosion of your youth.
It’s walking into a glass tower where your identity is instantly reduced to an employee ID number, a metrics dashboard, and a slot in a slide deck. It’s a world that runs on polished smiles, polite backstabbing, and a dictionary of corporate buzzwords designed to sanitize burnout—where working yourself to the bone is rebranded as "passion," and exploitation is dressed up as "culture."
You realize your time, your creativity, and your heartbeat are just line items on a spreadsheet, being traded for a paycheck by people who wouldn't recognize your name if they passed you in the hall. It forces a brutal choice: do you swallow your soul to climb a ladder that leads to a windowless office, or do you step off the conveyor belt and risk everything to build something that actually belongs to you?

That sounds genuinely exhausting. Sometimes the hardest part of an early shift isn’t the work itself, but trying to convince your body to sleep at a time when it simply doesn’t want to. I hope you find a routine that works for you soon. And honestly, working from home is probably the one small mercy in this situation! 😭 Take care of yourself—you deserve proper rest too. ❤️
