I've found another reason, besides the global recession, why I feel discouraged to find a new 'career.'

I've noticed this trend of people becoming their work. Where every part of your life, your online and offline identity revolves around your job. You no longer just work - you're 'living a passion', and 'growing a brand'. It feels like the human being behind the job disappears. As if, in order to be successful, you need to commodify every aspect of your life.

Idk is this relatable in any way?

I should probably delete my Instagram account.

@Gina nuked mine before I moved back to Delft. Have not missed it. Fiancée requested I reactivate my FB after it untagged me in all her photos, but I don’t ever actually login to the account and deleted the apps. The only hold out is WhatsApp because I can’t seem to get people to use Matrix or Signal.
