Unfortunately, I'm in the same place you are- my journal today sunk like a rock.
People are going to need to EXPERIENCE how bad the system has really become before real change is likely, IMO
And don't be angry at yourself- survival is the most important thing. If they are impeding your ability to live, they have earned that indifference.
