What I learned about My Year of Rest and Relaxation (contains spoilers)
Without even realizing I was in the middle of my own year of rest and relaxation when I stumbled upon Otttessa Moshfegh’s book called My Year of Rest and Relaxation. This book has made me think a lot about what resting and relaxing to me looks like, my relationship with work and a lot more!
Thank you so much for watching! X

    Love this video and the book! I’d like to add to the shame point, a sense of failure. I feel shameful because I feel like I’ve “failed” - even though I didn’t fail! I made the decision to take time off, and I’m so glad I did! I didn’t realise HOW burnt out and disconnected I was. Now I feel like I finally have a soul again. I am enjoying life again. I have hobbies and interests again. I have fun, I laugh, I LOVE, I cry. I spend time with my family again. My worth is not tied to my boss.

    Let me guess. All the people claiming that wanting a child is selfish still seek out the relationships. Still seek out the love making. But that final piece of the relationship puzzle to raise another life is the selfish aspect to ignore. We spend our whole lives consuming. We consume other's energy. Consume meat. Every aspect of our survival and even leisure is spent consuming something. Creating a child and raising it is the most selfless thing we do. It is the only time we give of ourselves expecting little to nothing back. We literally sacrifice our lives to save our young. But we call making children selfish. Sure.....People go to war and die protecting their kids. Parents jump in front of bears, trains, cars and die saving, not only their kids, but other people's kids. If having children is selfish, then all other aspects of life are even more selfish.

      Completely understand where you’re coming from but I think when people talk about having children being selfish is because you can’t ask the child if they even want to be born. The only reason people have children is because they want to. And let’s not forget that A LOT of children are born in poverty, misery, with parents who don’t know how or don’t want to raise their kids. In cases like that I understand that people see having kids as a selfish act because you brought a human being into a world just to suffer if we’re really honest. I’ve actually met people who wish they weren’t born. I think it’s really good that more and more people really think about what it means to bring a life into the world and if they are able to give their kid the life they deserve.

      @@SagidCarter Imm 44 years old. Traveled across the world. I have never met a person who legitimately wished they did not live. The few people who do think like this barely live past 10 years old. An adult stating that they wish they did not exist are essentially lying. Give them a gun and tell them they can end it now, a d you will see that 99% will not. That 1% that do are in a state of hopelessness based on circumastance. The truth is that envionmental circumstance and hopelessness make people wish for suicide. But you will never neet a person perfectly happy in life wishing they didnt exist. This whole concept is based on circumstances or hardships. Yet even with hardships 99% of people want the chance to thrive. So we are going to stop creating children during hardship just because 1% or less will hate living? That is madness. What about these people who dont apprecate the chance to live and thrive? Are they not selfish also for their kack of appreciation to participate in the cycle of life? Creating the next generation of life is the fundamental basic function of any living being. From a virus to an elephant, the one two jobs a living creature has is to thrive and to procreate. A coyote in a famine filled land isnt wondering if her pups will hate living in famine with wolves hunting it. She is thinking that she must survive and keep her genetic line going as long as possible. She isnt even actively thinking that, it is jusy ingrained in her being to function that way.

      @@SagidCarter Also the trend i see is that the most anti-religious and nti-spiritual people are always the ones against creating or maintaining life. They act as if souls of the unborn exist and that they have will, and you can figure out that will. But talk to them about spirituality or religion and they call you a clown. But they are the ones saying that your mind could be born in the wrong body or that we shoukd consider if life wants to be born. As if we would know what personality resides in the eggs in womens overies. This odd logic of trying to over-complicatedly rationalize the sterilization of hunans, restricting birth, and even promoting early death like they are doing in Canada is mostly in line with a sort of cultlike thinking. Because these concepts are not natural in human thinking. The acfions of humans do nkt mafch the concepts, because the overwhelming majority of humans live till they cant anymore and seek out the act of procreation, even when they dont. The only way these concepts will make sense for me is if i see a social contagion of youth living perfectly happy lives committing suicide enmass expressing a lack of desire to live. And a huge surge of people not seeking physical relationships with others, because they dont want kids at all. Similar to a movie from japan called "The Suicide Club". A movie about a group of jpop idols leading a secret society of people who hated being born and ulimately kill themselves wether their lives were good or not. Otherwise at this time, we have everyones actions showing they are prolife /procreation, while their words speak of death.

      @@SagidCarter Yeah it was a good book review. Might i suggest you look up the "rat utopia experiments". It has a lot in correlation with the concepts listed in the book you reviewed. When under hardship the desire to procreate and thrive goes up. When under luxury, the desire to self destruct goes up.
