Is Your Life Worth Living?

Just so you know, no. This is not a suicide note of any kind. This is a serious question. I have been alive for 9,000 days now. I’m 24 years old, born and raised in the suburbs and cities of Ontario, Canada. One of the ‘best’ places to live in the world. But yet my time and my body are not my own, it belongs to a company that has me break my body for them doing manual labor and driving a forklift. Moving as quickly as I can to meet requirements and probably taking years off my life from the stress. However, compared to most people my age. It’s not a bad job and I’m well compensated. I work 40 hours or more a week so I can live…. No, so I can survive in Canada while making the best of a one-bedroom apartment.
