I am trying hard, but I just can't.
The problem is that I see this as a fundamental waste of time.
I mean, I get to eat something and I have roof over my head and I am grateful for this.
The big question is what I am passionate about. I would really really love to work on longevity research, on hard problems.
But I am not even sure about this, I would love to be challenged. I would love to do things that are hard.
I mean, there is no point in all of this, at the very least I could shoot for the stars for the time that I have left on this cursed planet.
I've been sort of doing this backend stuff for 12 years already I don't want to die doing only this, you know.
So I am asking a general question, what would you do in my place.
Thank you,
with all the love in the world, Em

I'd start by asking whether you're trying to find meaning to your life in work. "Working to live", when you've got a really rewarding life in other areas, is usually a lot more sustainable than "living to work".
