This one has gotten me through some some patches, especially for a couple of specific things. One has completely turned around, and I'm glad I waited it out. The other still creates some stress, but there are rewards along the way.

If there were no rewards to reap

(I must keep reminding myself of this) (repeats)

No loving embrace to see me through

This tedious path I've chosen here

I certainly would've walked away

By now

And I still may

And I'm

Gonna wait it out

Wait it out

Edit: Edited some repetitive lyrics for brevity

You say that like it's the one "high priority" ticket that the one big project is waiting on. In a sea of backlogged high priority issues attached to critical projects, being an asshat means that yours will be at the bottom of the 100 other super-important, my job-is-special tickets.

It takes more distance to stop with an empty trailer? I would have thought the opposite. How come?

"I found something better, but I'm not able to divulge what it is at this time. "

Or

"You! You're the reason I'm quitting."

"I won the lottery! No, you can't have any."

Or, Give each of them a different reason and watch them go crazy trying to figure it out.

Everyone has their own definition of what an acceptable choice is.

My point is that cost of living is not a choice. It is the actual cost that it takes to live in a specific area. Sure, where and how i live are my choice. But that has nothing to do with the actual cost of living in a given neighbourhood. And when you average it out, it balances out those who are frugal and savvy with their money with those who live beyond their means.

To say that everyone who makes 250k/yr and is living paycheck to paycheck is fat on avocado toast, and 15$ lattes is oversimplifying it.
