Inflation is your boss, bills are the machinery, and your dreams… the product. You clock in, not just at a job, but at life itself, where survival has a time card and exhaustion is mandatory. Every paycheck feels like a temporary truce with the system, a small victory against forces that never sleep.

You work to pay debts, to pay rent, to pay for the next day’s work - and somehow, in the middle of it, you are supposed to live. Your ambitions, your creativity, your curiosity, are all filtered through a lens of profit and necessity. Dreams are no longer things you chase - they are assets to be monetized, collateral for survival.

It’s surreal. It’s chaotic. And painfully relatable. Because no matter how hard you push, the machinery never stops. Inflation ticks upward, bills multiply, and the product - the best parts of you - keeps moving down the conveyor belt.

Welcome to life after work.
You’re not exhausted because of laziness - you’re exhausted because the system is designed that way.
