I remember seeing this post in 2016 from an account in Instagram I used to follow. I remember hating existence because the cellphone company I worked for at the time was sold to a bigger company and that meant we got their dipshit customers coming to us for help with their 80 dollar phones that they expect to be working like 800 dollar phones. "No, sir, your phone only has 8 gigabytes of storage. No, I don't know how to increase internal storage. No, you can't put a microchip in your phone to locate it. This isn't a spy movie."
I really didn't know what to do because I was at a point where I hated going to work because I knew it was gonna be a shit day with shittier customers. With each day chipping away at my sanity, I hated all the stupid questions because they became more frequent.
I can admit I was burned out.
I saw this post and thought "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU". I remember feeling so insulted and invalidated when I read this. I hated waking up and I hated existing so seeing some gym bro talk about how people don't have the right to be burned out because others have it worse. "Damn, I am burned out and I hate my job every day but I should just push through because some guy I don't know is dying."
Fucking hell.
I remember reading this and realizing that this is not the kind of person I want to be where I just use other people's misery as motivation because fuck that noise. Mental health only matters to these motherfuckers when it affects them.
Burning out matters because that's when you know something has to change. You can't just push through it with no change whatsoever because that's how you destroy yourself even more.
Wait, gimme a minute.
Also, I just realize that the guy who said this quote got run over by a train because he was trying to outrun it for his own energy drink commercial. Maybe it's best not to listen to idiots like that.
