CMV: I need to be working as much as I can to secure my future

Good evening / morning to everyone.
I am a 19 year old male, who is going to college to be a welder, and currently employed at a machine shop working 12 hour shifts (by choice).
I have this mindset where I’m scared to enjoy my life because if I don’t work on my income now, I’m going to be forced into a situation of stress when I’m older and wish I had the room to relax but instead I’m working at a job and I’m tired by that point.
I work 48 hours a week while college is off, and once I’m done with college my hope is to work a welding job and this machinery job, as much as I can humanly without getting burn out.
I’ve been told by a few coworkers, family, older friends, etc. that I need to enjoy being young, but I can’t help but think my “young” days have passed and I need to get my shit together.
It doesn’t help that the government has me economically dependent on working every free second I have because prices keep rising and everything.
Is this the right move to make for my life? Why should I or should I not continue working every second I have available?
Hope this was a good question for having just discovered this subreddit tonight (I’m typing this while I’m falling asleep at my

[1241] Cut It Out

My brain has been packed. I’ll be lucky to put a paragraph together for what feels like a dozen different subjects. My head no less compiling and looking for the patterns.
They killed an average, normal, sparkling white woman. Just now. Just NOW people are arriving at, “It could be me!” Not people who pay attention. Not people who read history. The people who can’t be bothered or can’t handle what it takes to be enmeshed in the political landscape. And who can blame them? It’s one impossible, unprecedented, and seemingly intractable problem after the next every single day. They’ve already killed innocent Americans. They’ve been Nazis all along.
We fought world wars over this shit. It wasn’t that long ago. My grandpa killed Nazis. We established a world order to try and avoid ending up like 100 million people who had to die because hatred and a desire for power ran amok. I’ve been asking for years, how bad does it need to get? How many people have to die for the worst reasons imaginable before we’re back at some iteration of a world war footing? How many lies are we not going to call lies? How often are we gonna play the “both sides” game? How many criminals are we going to pardon a

I hate my boyfriend and am planning my escape

I’ve been with my current bf for 3 years now, and I don’t think anything can fix this relationship. I hate him and I hate his family. My patience has run out, I’m tired, I don’t even recognize myself anymore. He forced me to carry an accidental pregnancy to term by threatening me over and over and over again which sometimes escalated to physical abuse. That poor child is now living with his family because we can’t take care of it, which I fucking knew was going to happen. He didn’t care. He wanted a baby for his own selfish reasons. Our lease is up soon and we were looking for a bigger apartment to accommodate all of us but I don’t think I can do it. I just want out. I started looking for a studio apartment for myself yesterday after finding 40 tabs of porn open on his phone and seeing multiple messaging apps that required Face ID to open. I should be able to afford it once the lease is up but I am absolutely terrified of telling him I want to live apart. I can’t break up with him fully until I’m out. All I can think about is being FREE.

Have you ever lost a wedding ring? What did the replacement feel like?

Went swimming at the local pool last night and plopped it down on the cubicle bench to get dressed and most likely forgotten it, and it was only this morning I realised it was gone. Checked in with the pool reception this morning and they said nope so it has probably been pinched by someone.
It's worth £3.99 and I'm about to order a replacement so it's not really a monetary issue more than a sentimental one, but obviously I'm still a bit sad. Has anyone been in the same position, and does the replacement ring feel different as it's not the 'original'?

How Do I Explore Life For The First Time?

I’ve taken a leave of absence from college and now have a rare amount of freedom to try new things. I was raised in a very sheltered environment and learned to prioritize what my parents approved of rather than what I actually enjoy. I want to explore new interests but feel stuck by that mindset.
Does anyone have advice on how to broaden my horizons—or even give ideas for things you’d try in my position?
This feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I want to make the most of it.
Thanks in advance 🤍
