What's the story here?

Are you in a rush to get back to work?



Not in a hurry, but my lackluster "exit" is roughly equivalent to a middling faang job for the years I put into my startup.

My monthly expenses are low, but I'm sad I'm in my early 30's and effectively just burned a year doing nothing because I'm mentally in this place and can't really afford to spend more.

I basically haven't made any money in 2025 and it's starting to eat me alive. Fortunately, after taking some time off I no longer really feel burnt out.
