📸AC Equine Bodywork & Massage🐴 Anyone no what they call it when you finally notice your life has become a f*cking admin job? 🫠
There comes a point when a man looks at his life…. And kind of just re thinks everything I guesssss.🤷🏼♂️
What nobody talks about is the quieter version. You wake up one morning and realize almost everything you do exists to maintain everything else you do…..🤔 Think about that s**t….. You work to pay for the house 🏡 you barely enjoy because you are always working.
You buy s**t to compensate for being tired, 🥱 then work longer to pay for the things……
You spend the week waiting for Friday, Friday trying to erase the week, Saturday recovering from Friday and Sunday dreading the arrival of Monday……….
Then someone tells you to practice gratitude 🙏🏻 because apparently the problem is not that your life has become a f*cking spreadsheet. You simply need to feel more appreciative……
I have been a guide, a labourer, a farmer, a plumber, and an owner….. I spent decades operating under extreme pressure, meeting unrealistic deadlines and being the reliable bastard who could always carry a bit more…… 💪🏻
That becomes an identity…..🙋🏼♂️
You are the one who copes…..
The one who sorts s**t out.
The one who keeps moving when something hurts, because stopping would be inconvenient for everybody else.
Nobody notices the system degrading because it has not crashed yet…..
You are still turning up. Still paying the bills. Still replying to messages with "all good" while privately wondering when life became a list of obligations interrupted by sleep.
That is not always depression.
It is not necessarily burnout, low testosterone, a spiritual emergency or a vitamin deficiency….. Sometimes you have simply been absent from your own life for too f*cking long.
Your needs were repeatedly moved to the bottom 👇🏻of the list because something else appeared more urgent.
The children.
The business.
The job.
The mortgage.
The relationship.
The parents.
The farm chores.
The bastard light 💡 on the dashboard that has been glowing since February…… just like the check engine light on your body……
Years pass like this because none of the individual days looks catastrophic.
That is how load works. It accumulates quietly.
You adapt, compensate and lower your expectations until surviving the week feels like a perfectly respectable life.
Then one day something inside you finally refuses to keep pretending. You begin asking awkward questions……. Do I actually want this? 🤔💭🙇
Do I even like these people?
Why am I spending most of my waking life doing things I would not choose if fear, money and expectation were removed from the room?
Who the f*ck am I when nobody needs anything from me?
People become uncomfortable when you ask those questions because your compliance may have been extremely convenient for them.
They liked the old you.
The exhausted one.
The agreeable one.
The one who drank to tolerate everything rather than changing anything.
When that person begins setting boundaries, declining invitations and refusing to sacrifice another decade on the altar of keeping everybody else f*cking comfortable, it gets labelled selfish…….. 😂
Or unstable……
Or a midlife crisis……
Sometimes the crisis is not that you have lost your mind. It is that you have finally found enough of it to realize the the arrangement is s**t.
At 37, I do not want a Lamborghini……
I want mornings that belong to ME. ☕️🥓🥞🧇🍳
I want rivers, mountains, 🏔️, sunshine, ☀️ nature, 🌲🫎, adventure, decent food, 🥩meaningful work, silence, laughter and the freedom to change direction without convening a committee.
I want fewer possessions requiring maintenance and fewer relationships requiring me to f*cking pretend.
I want to create things that matter, HELP PEOPLE who genuinely want help and spend more time living than recovering from how I live.
That is not a crisis. It is an audit.
This is when you finally have enough evidence to stop believing your own bulls**t.
You can see which compromises were necessary, which were temporary and which became permanent because you were too tired or frightened to challenge them.
You do not need to burn 🔥 everything down today or tomorrow……
You do not need to leave your friends or family, move into a yurt 🛖 and begin making ceremonial spoons from ethically sourced driftwood…….😂 or collecting healing ❤️🩹 crystals 💎 …….
Start smaller bro.
Notice what f*cking drains you to the core.
Notice what brings you back.
Notice which parts of your life require alcohol, food, shopping, scrolling 📲 or constant distraction to make them tolerable.
Then stop 🛑 asking what is wrong with you for wanting something different.
Maybe nothing is wrong with you……
Maybe the part of you that went quiet beneath decades of responsibility has finally started banging on the f*cking pipes. 🔧
That is not the sound of your life falling apart….. It may be the first sign that you are ready to take part in it again.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Tyler Cameron
