It is sad. This part stood out for me " I wasn’t demanded of much: maybe to keep my room clean and to help out around the house occasionally." Sometimes I wonder if there isn't a niche for someone to teach people like this how to live a little better. Like really basic things people used to take for granted such as cooking, being outside, and eating meals with friends and family. It took spending some time on a family farm to make my realize that while I had "success" I had a very low quality of life, one that just wasn't worth it in the long run. It makes me sad to see posts about things like "Soylent." It's like how much of humanity can we prune off in the pursuit of coding as much as possible? I quit my Manhattan job with the long commute and moved to a cheaper, though still vibrant city. I sleep eight hours a night, I cook meals from scratch, I have friends I see almost every day, I walk to work, and in general my quality of life is very very high. My job is fairly "boring", but I have the energy to work on my own side projects. Don't forget that you are not a robot. That very simple things can make a human being's life better, like sleep and friends and good food.
