But we do owe shit to someone, to the people we live with or even if just for our future selves.
Keeping on track with standard daily chores to avoid those piling up, taking care of others, taking others into consideration even. Add in kids and a partner and the list of conditions gets even longer.
16h of YT, who cooks and cleans and prepares for the next day then?
Going out to the pub, comes with conditions that by tomorrow I’m sober enough, financial limitations not to blow whole budget on booze and time limitations.
Frolicking in the grass, season dependant and having acess to an adequate patch of grass or just accepting odd looks from passerbys when doing it in a public space and like a police check up.
We can keep going, you can give any scenario and i can give conditions that must be met for it and the limitations it has.

Break the self imposed chains, mate. Kids an partner do limit it, but you absolutely can take a day of - just keep in mind to keep it consensual with your partner and be ready to return the favor in the future. Hell, I see in most advice given by parents to other parents to do exactly that to avoid going crazy.
But all in all, I am going to be blunt. You sound like someone who is constantly on the lookout for reasons not to live your life. You are not a cog in the machine, you are not essential to the world turning, one day off won’t make the whole fall apart. Live your life. Be human.
Yeah the the wider world won’t fall apart or even notice if I’m missing and yes there are constantly lots of reasons or conditions to look out for and take into consideration when making decisions.
But my world will. I am the lynchpin, the stable backbone, that holds it together and makes it function, I’m not good at it, i suck at it, but that’s the best i can do. I can’t spontaneously take a day off, because then I’d have to do more the next day. If i don’t keep up with even the most basic daily task, then no one else will complete those for me.
Though don’t get me wrong, it’s not that grim. Despite all the limitations and constrictions, i have managed to eke out some quality hobby time and with some preplanning i can sometimes take a day off, with reasonable limitations.
And i do appreciate the bluntness, thank you for that.
