This post reeks of privilege. There are people who quite literally do not have time. They are born into a world where they know nothing other than having a lack of time. They grow up in a household where their parent(s) work multiple jobs to keep food on the table and the lights on. They aren't contemplating taking gap years to travel or learn a new language. While everyone has 24 hours in a day, not everyone can dictate what they do during them. Free time is a luxury.

The very next post in the blog is about how the author is taking a "gap year" and how wonderful that is: https://blogofjake.com/2020/07/06/great-year-for-a-gap-year/ https://blogofjake.com/2020/07/06/great-year-for-a-gap-year/ Why doesn't everyone do this? If you feel like you don't have time to achieve your goals, just take a whole year off and do whatever you want! Almost every post on this blog makes me angry, it's really an impressive achievement.
