I'm so fucking sick of living in a society. I've got a host of neurodivergencies that make life in a society a living hell. I have ADHD, BPD, ASD, I'm Transgender.

All I want is to be a nomad, traveling the world at my pace, foraging for food and collecting trinkets and baubles that make my brain go brrrr but no, instead of that I have to work a job I don't want, for a company who doesn't respect me, just to maintain a decent standard of living in a country that couldn't give two shits whether I survive the day or not.

    As a fellow ND person, I seriously relate. It was hammered into me as a kid that I needed to be a good part of capitalist society even if it didn't make sense to me. Now that I've deprogrammed parts of that, I see the pointless bullshit for what it is. None of it makes sense and there's never a reason for most of it outside of 'because the owner of ____ said so.'

    It sucks now too because we can't easily wander off like in the days before social media and credit scores

    I think a lot of historical hatred for Roma/Tinkers/Travelers throughout the world comes from people in generations past being that mad at people living that way.
