My 2021 finance diary, not healthy, but anyone else do the same??

Everyday I wake up and put in my hours, self-contained in my apartment walls... I do what is needed to perform, finish my work, address comments, blah blah blah. Then I wrap up work around 8pm, have a few drinks with dinner, smoke some weed, have some more drinks... every night around 11pm I realize I'm on a good one and watching some pointless tv show or youtube video. Maybe checking futures and/or shitposting on reddit. This has been a daily routine of mine... the next morning, I wake up and know I'm not in my best shape, caffeine and Addy helps... a repeat of yesterday, but maybe today I do a little bit more job hunting, think about venturing out into the world (take my new GF overseas and say fuck it and work in a coffee shop in italy or pursue my new idea and build something of value for society), but little happens. And tomorrow will be the same as today.
