Although I do recognize the value of education, it’s not for me. Besides, I’ve already wasted enough years with that, so I moved on. Regarding passion or expanding on something I’m good at, believe me, I got nothing since I’m a full-blown introvert who grew up loathing school and wasting his time getting good at meaningless video games and binging YouTube videos. As for the only meaningful things I have left: my deen.
Alhamdulillah, I never falter in my prayers and regularly perform dua. It has remained the only constant in my life. And, this job that I’m not prepared to lose for another pointless endeavor. Bringing me to my question, is it acceptable to just succumb to this low standard of living?
This would mean giving up on marriage or in broader terms, building a family, but I believe I can manage to live the rest of my life on my own, so there shouldn’t be a problem. Thank you for your insight.
