Welcome to lemm.ee!

I'm a reddit refugee and after looking at lemmy instances to join for a week, I've settled on this because I like the admin policies and self regulation of content. Thank you for setting this up for everyone.

People born in the year 2000 don't have to try and calculate how old they are when people ask them their age

Yeah it's hard to calculate when reality sets in. There's also a bit of reluctance from me as a lot of expectations follow me when I reveal my age even when I don't look like how old I am. It's like suddenly you feel that you are not so welcome in some conversations any more or people keep you out of their circles because they presume that you don't fit in.

I've gotten way past that and while realising that my body isn't what it was physically 20 years ago, I'm treating age as just a number and if one has a problem with that, it's really their problem not mine 🙂

And by the way, I was born in 1971.

Do you work to live or live to work?

Reply in thread

Yeah, that's similar to my experience. The right job is important. At one point working, for me was so stifling that I even left my country of birth to look for the perfect job culture.

I never found it, but at least the balance has shifted from being depressed to being acceptable of my job no matter how disappointing or discouraging it can be occasionally. But the moment I know it's making me feel that it's nothing but just going through the daily mundane patterns just to live another day, it's time for me to look for another.

Do you work to live or live to work?

That's similar to my experience. I've reached a point where I need to feel motivated to work, but not for it to be such a chore that sucks my entire life down with it. I know also that not everyone has this luxury.

With work comes people, and with that comes experiences that can be both good and bad - even if the job scope seems to be ideal. So, while I live to work, I also give a reality check and concede that there are times when I need to work unpleasantly to live.
