You know, I still can’t believe humans were gifted a planet full of trees, fruits, water, wildlife and sunlight, and somehow we invented debt, capitalism and all the other things that make simply living feel so unbearably expensive. Sometimes I genuinely wonder who started all of this.

At this point, I can’t even confidently say things will get better because who knows? We just have to find what works for us and, when it stops working or becomes too expensive, learn to let it go. It’s sad that even things we once considered little luxuries now have to be weighed against whether we can actually afford them.
