Re: "Talk to me about 90's kid leisure time existential crises"

I checked out the light phone and it was too limited for me. Sunbeam Wireless has flip phones with increasing levels of tech in them. i picked the bluebird because i wanted navigation, hotspot, and voice to text if I needed it.
Honestly the biggest thing I miss is having less responsibilities and more time not filled with something. Even as a teen i was working a ton while going to school but my overall to-do list was so small that when i had a hobby i actually had space for it. Now with a home and kids and a wife any sort of me time doesn't start until 1AM. At that point i go weeks or months actually doing something i enjoy.

@jecxjo I hear ya. Some people tell me it's easier when the kids are a little older, others tell me it's just different.
One of my "comorbidities" with this whole issue is a tendency to take on too much, especially with the house. Thankfully this is quieting down, but I probably would have been better served by only treating actual emergencies with urgency and balancing the rest against making sure I'm not pushing myself too hard to continue the day-to-day.
it's good to see I'm not alone in this lack of time.

@gritty I think that the nature of Gemini IS the slowing down of something that's too complicated, and also many feel like this but haven't put their finger on it until topics like this come out and are encouraged to explore their own thoughts
Talk to me about 90's kid leisure time existential crises — I've linked above what I had meant to include here but it's too long for a single post. Let me know what you think and where you've found something to enjoy simply for yourself without the expectation of gain or enrichment. How do you have fun as an adult amidst a stream of real life concerns? Help me regain my lost sense of interest in people on the internet and let's shout into the void together.
