yep. agreed. i've had to face the fact in my adult life that i can only do so much for so many people, and that ultimately i need to do what's best for me and my family. life is too short, and simultaneously too long to live in a way that brings you unhappiness

You're a great person Luvcow and society needs way more people like you

But at the end of the day you gotta do what's ultimately right for you because you can't live life miserable

The unfortunate thing about social services is that they will absolutely grind you into dust for having the tiniest shred of humanity/empathy/pride in your work.

It sucks that we as a society dont value what you do more, and that ultimately you have to choose your own well-being. But theres nothing wrong about stepping away.

Take care of yourself, goon.

We should start a business that sells really really really small print phone books so you can make them much thinner so they are easy to rip in half and then you can honestly say that you can rip a phone book in half and people will be very impressed

Why buy our phonebooks? Every phone number is 11 DIGITS. That's two extra digits of value!!
