Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Having a high-paying job or a lucrative career. Kahit na pa sabihin natin na sobrang taas ng sweldo at sobrang heavenly ng working conditions, hindi pa rin. Just imagining the responsibilities involved, nakaka-stress na.
While I want to earn enough for myself and a perhaps a person or two, to live comfortably, parang okay lang din siguro kung mamatay ako sa gutom kung ang kapalit naman nun is being to live a stress-free life.
This is what I'm afraid to be at na parang ayaw ko na magpapromote to be honest (increase sahod na lang pwede ba haha). On my industry/tech stack, I know what the next level entails, at recently lang naexperience ko na yung glimpse 😄. I'll earn significantly more and be surely more comfortable than before, pero lagi akong napapaisip kung sulit ba yung magiging trade off.
I don't think you'd have lived a stress-free life if eventually you'll die of starvation hehe
I mean, I guess? But also, having already experienced a prolonged period of eating nothing (tubig lang), I think I can get by. Near the end of the first week, I don't even get hungry anymore, not even after drinking water.
But yeah, I'd rather die of hunger than undergo the stresses of a high-paying yet high-responsibility job/career.
Eating nothing can be beneficial as you are cleaning yourself. I've done this during pandemic, at sobrang gaan sa feeling na parang naging germaphobic ang kalooban ng katawan. Haha
