sometimes i think i'd be less stressed if i got a job, but the other part of me keeps wanting to push because my life goal is to have self sustaining income and the freedom of not having a boss or working for someone else, but at this point it feels like i'm a prisoner of my own decisions, haven't been happy in so many months, it's friday night and i'm sitting at my desk, 20 friday nights in a row been working or thinking about work, every second is thinking about what i could or should be doing idk thinking out loud and putting it on farcaster helps get my head out of my ass to talk with people, maybe i should move to nyc and see people because right now i see a friend maybe once a month, i wish i had friends to play pickleball with or do stuff with, i wish i wasn't on my computer every waking second of my day, it's all consuming and its slowly killing me and im sacrificing everything for the facade of freedom, this isn't freedom

to be completely honest, it sounds like the environment you're describing is also not conducive to your stated goals. even if work is #1 priority, staying isolated on the computer reduces your ability to think laterally and come up with fresh ideas or iterations on your work, you end up getting stuck in unproductive thought loops. i resonate with the desire to not have a job, have been on my own pathless path for a year now. but it's worth noting that having some level of income security, even in short term, may give you a bit more space and clarity to make decisions that are better for long-term freedom. right now you feel like your back is against the wall and it adds to the stress and forces you into short-term thinking

number 1 thing that will make it all way better i think, is having a group of people irl who are on the same journey. some sort of young hungry cracked indiehacking squadron. whatever it takes to find that is worth it, internet helps a lot ofc
