Everyone will face a turning point at some point in their life. A wake up call. A sign. A moment which they will never forget. This was mine.

Life Back in 2021

You wake up. It's 8 AM.
Your parents are shouting for you to get up.
You grab your phone, still in bed, and join your Zoom class with your camera off and brain switched off. Its been a while since you joined a Zoom class…

After a while, you hop on Discord and call your friends, multitasking between video games and half-listening to class until around 10 AM. Then you jump into League of Legends with your best friend.

It’s 2 PM. After many losses, you log off and crash back into bed.
Hours pass. Your parents wake you up for dinner.
You eat one bowl of rice, sit back down, and jump straight back into playing video games.
You play until it’s midnight. You wash up. Then finally…

You’re “free.”

Free to do whatever you want without expectations, without noise, without judgment.
It’s 2 AM. You’re binge watching Netflix. You check the time, it’s 5 AM. Time for a snack.
You grab the packet of chips you stashed under your bed and watch YouTube videos.
You finish eating, and pass out again.

You Wake up at 8 AM. Tune out your parents yelling. Repeat.

My routine was dull. Repetitive. Lifeless.
I didn’t know why I felt so empty.
But those precious hours from midnight to 6 AM. That was my escape.
The one time of day I felt in control. The one time I truly felt free.
It was comforting… but destructive.

It wasn’t until two years later, when I started working as a warehouse picker for Rode Microphones that I finally understood the consequences of living life with no discomfort, no structure, and no pressure.
