..but maybe that isn't saying much because I am currently gluten free and the "bread" that I toast takes like 12min to get a decent brown on it.

But in all seriousness, how the heck do we survive as humans in a world so fast paced as ours? I am no historian, I have no time. Yet as I slow down in this moment to look out my window and ponder my own home and its value and how fickle it all is. It cost me everything I have and more to get this part of a home(I say part because it is a townhome) and yet it is so reliant on the whims of the market to survive. What if my town ends up not growing like it is projected to? Then so quickly will this shoddy construction will fall into disrepair. They aren’t meant to last, just to house people long enough to make a profit. There will be no stone relic of a structure left behind. Given to its own and nature it will be a pile of meaningless dust in no time. And just like my house so am I so reliant on this "system". It is no wonder why we are all so anxious all the time. Part of me wishes I would live in a time where I would hear news of the latest king’s quarrels every few months at most. Where I could just tend to my own little special safe haven of a home on some perfect green hill somewhere. Yet here I am in a literal desert, no green in sight other than the green charging indicator on my laptop. We now live in a world where dozens more empires and risen and fallen in the time it took to read up to here. Millions of dollars have been won and lost, spent and sent today. All of that having real affects on people's lives. So how do we survive in this world that is increasingly speeding up? TBH IDK. I wish I had some profound knowledge to share at that end of that one, but nope, just sitting here questioning with the rest of y’all.
