It's a common misconception that in order to relax they have to earn it. People feel guilty if they aren't working as if their worth is dependent on how much they labor.

Correction - You work hard to make things easier.

Not "work hard so you have an excuse to be lazy." You have every right to relax whenever you want, given that doing so won't make things more difficult later on.

Life feels like a lot fucking lower than that. More like a 5° angle that stretches for miles each day.
