This

"Are you in school?" No. I'm already in my preferred field doing the job I'd otherwise be working towards getting.

I always become bewildered with what they could possibly be asking of me, as if I'm not allowed to be happy with everything I've done to get me exactly where I am right now.

Fuck them.

I just want to live. Why must I set myself up for a perpetually unattainable "goal"? There is no such thing as a "dream job". That concept is inherently self-contradictory.

My goal? I am honing my skills and putting them on advertisement for whoever is able to use those skills. What else do you want from me?

What even is this? What am I doing? No matter what, at the end of the day, I am stuck living in a world that is stacked up against me in a body that denies me the ability to sleep, or even remain conscious for 24 hours without seizing. But above all, no matter how much work I put into bettering myself, I'm still stuck in a world that does not operate on logic.
