theikonickay: I actually don’t want to climb any corporate ladders. I don’t care about job titles. I don’t need accolades. I just want to have income to fund my lifestyle, not be depressed, help other people, and be around good humans. Dassit.
splityashatovah: Yeah, olive oil and cheese and pastries can make you a little fat. Yeah, sunshine gives you wrinkles and wine ruins your liver and spending money on pretty things eats up your savings. But unfortunately, I’ve decided to enjoy life anyways.
