Well in Nigeria, it is starting to be almost the same.
Everyone needs more and even as young people there is such a pressure to have a certain amount of money and there is always a comparison going on between you and friends.
I think it was one of the reasons I fell into depression because I was(am) unemployed and at the beginning, I wasn't the strongest mentally so everything just affected me.
Regardless of this factor, I have certain perks like having a roof over my head, having power, water, etc, which means I am comfortable.
I sometimes imagine what if I didn't have those also wouldn't it be worse.
Thank you so much also for the conversation, it helped more than you think especially as a young person who has been overthinking and over analysing.
Oh, bless. Thank you for sharing your experience and for saying this darling. I'm so glad that it helped.
At 40 I still overthink and over analyse a lot. But the more I practise mindfulness and being with what is the better the quality of my thinking becomes and the better my life becomes. And being on Hive and learning from people like you helps me to become more mindful, more aware of my privilege and more kind to everyone, including myself.
I'm so glad that in your not-currently-employed state you can still get on Hive. It's such an awesome place for you to use that clever and wise mind of yours. I hope that even as you gain any other income sources other than this platform that you continue to play/share/write on Hive as you are making this community a better place for being here, my love.

I don't think I'll ever leave hive, no matter what happens.
Thank you so much, have a beautiful day.
😘
