As a kid I was miserable but at least now I'm in control over what makes me miserable.

    To a certain extent, yeah. You can control the things you individually do on a micro level.

    The killer is that as you get older you realize how little those micro level actions matter on the macro scale. And I think you feel somehow even more powerless to enact change as an adult than as a kid because you can finally perceive the larger picture.

    Try suppressing your emotions (thats good to do sometimes) and focus on your duty. Be a good husband, worker, and friend. If its beyond your control, then don't worry about it. Its not your problem if the crane carrying you while you do construction work is operated by a drunk.

    this meme from my earlier post is how I feel if you are miserable. https://lemmygrad.ml/post/713812
