Sometimes I daydream about having a totally different profession. Or no profession at all. I've been steeped in tech my entire life. Leaving it behind for a simpler life sounds appealing sometimes. Maybe I could be a farmer and perfect the plant/harvest cycle. Maybe I could be a fisherman and ride the seas. Maybe I could be a cook - I'd love to be a ramen or sushi chef. Maybe I could live a quiet life in the woods, living off simple things that I could grow or buy from the local store.
I enjoy the rat race - nicer titles, nicer places to live, nicer cars, faster tech - but sometimes, I wish I could just live a simple life and not need as much.
- kamphey 3y agoIs this a false duality? Trying to figure out between: Rat Race or Simple Life. I imagine there are a wide number of gray areas here.
- accrual 3y agoI agree. An ideal middle would be to have the income of the career ladder but the mobility and freedom of the simple life. Some kind of clear line between them.
- perilunar 3y ago> sometimes, I wish I could just live a simple life Sometimes you can. Go camping. Leave the phone behind.
- accrual 3y agoSome of my best and favorite experiences have been while camping, you have a point.
