Why is everything such a fucking chore?

I think I'd like to be an artist but I can't finish my songs because it's too draining.
I need a place to live and food to eat but I have to waste half my life working for it.
I think I'd like a romantic relationship but nobody would ever love me unless I spent god know how long at the gym and mangled my personality into something more likeable.
I don't get anything good in life without dehumanizing myself, and when you actually get something good it's always a passing novelty.
I feel physically ill thinking about it, I can't believe that this is all there is.

I can perfectly understand the way you feel.

I love my work (teaching) but preparing new lessons is EXHAUSTING BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.
Fortunately, I've been doing this for years and already have lots of materials prepared.

However, I have a really hard doing any other stuff which is "easily doable" for normal people such as WORKING OUT.

Wow your post = my thoughts virtually 24/7. I can't understand it either. Feels like way too much pain for a passing reward, if there's even any reward at all to begin with.
