So edgy! Happy summer btw!

Hello, my name is Ethan.
According to my calculations, I will spend 32% of my life asleep. Additionally, I will spend 35% of my life at my place of work, a state of being I dislike strongly. I will commute for about 4% of my life. Roughly 72% of my life will thus be spent either unconscious or unhappy.
A ballpark estimate puts “chores” (paying bills, laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, walking my dog Fritz, etc.) at another 15%. This is 87% of my life used up so far.

Considering all of the above (sans sleeping) takes energy, I will have about 70% energy to commit to the remaining 13% of life that belongs to me.
Given these numbers, is there any reason to continue existence? Would you play a video game for 80 years if 87% of it was absolute shit? Asking for a friend.

Best regards,
Ethan

La Condesa sings lightly
In her pearl white evening gown
As the City marches toward her
Brandishing pistols and knives.

Roma’s where the gringas see
Though they hear no melody
Only pictures from their telephones
Sent to friends in New York.

I am a spider in the empty box
Or a dog bearing teeth
As the guard of decay closes in
On the woman who sings and sleeps.

Together the earth swallows us
And the sea removes every trace.
