To feel like life is more hassle than it's worth

Up until now I suppose there have been adventures and new things to try to distract from the fundamental fact that being alive is a great big chore. Endless hoovering and bills.

Don't get me wrong, I'm here now and I'll just see where things go but if you asked me if I'd like to do it all again that would be a big fat non merci from me.

Ha I actually don't hoover very often it's more of a hypothetical annoyance but I do hate the day to day HASSLE of everything. Things going wrong unexpectedly. And so many aggro-landmine people out there (you know the kind - you're out minding your own business and BOOM day ruined for no good reason).

I just think I've done everything I was curious about. I'm 43 in September. No kids so I could jack it all in but for what.

I feel like another species sometimes because I don't understand the enthusiasm for being for its own sake.

Well there isn't really anything else so....

No future possibilities for adventure and new things? There are new things you can learn and experience even if you have to do it around the hoovering.

Hoover less?

Spend the time gained on enjoyable things.

What's changed in your life from previous distractions and adventures to now not having them?
