I'm going on a little rant. I see so many of these upper class influencers act like the reason that everyone doesn't have it all is because they just aren't working hard enough. Most people work ridiculously hard just to survive, and they just don't have time to work on their dreams or whatever side hustle they are supposed to be doing too, because Capitalism doesn't see the value in rest. Most of these Influencers are coming from a place of privilege anyway, they aren't doing their own laundry, cleaning their house, doing their bills, fixing their food, caring full time for their children or parents, or the other hundreds of little chores and annoyances that make up every day life. That's a full time job by itself that most people are doing on top of a full or part time job. If most people had that taken off their plate then sure they'd have time to "hustle" and "grind" on some kind of project that was just about their dreams. And it makes us feel guilty that we aren't doing enough, because our house wasn't clean enough, or you didn't get a workout in, or dinner was frozen, or you didn't get to take the kids to wherever. Listen friend, it's ok, you're allowed to order a pizza and veg out in front of a couple of reruns of Castle, or take a couple hours to read and have a cuppa, or scroll Mastodon in the bath. It's good enough to just make it through the day sometimes and you deserve rest and relaxation. Don't let someone who got incredibly lucky tell you otherwise.
