30s. Earning well, no issues yet.

Being good to the people around me and those in my community isn't an act. It's just how I feel I should be.

I now work on projects I'm passionate about, and spent years prior swinging a tool.

Everyone's path is different. I was lucky, but I didn't act a certain way because I was trying to put up an act. It's just how I conduct myself.

Lucky af here too. None of the “work sucks” stuff ever realllly resonates with me. But I sympathize all the same. Just happened to get super lucky in most every way. We need to do better for the majority, but even an evil system ends up working well for some folks (perhaps only a privileged few). So, caution people on blanket “absolutely everything sucks, trust no one!” kinda thinking.
