I feel very similar to Isabelle!

Living in the midlands, in my early 30s, I've been encouraged to go into engineering and work on automation and machine learning. I've realised that the promises of all this technology are empty promises.

I see people all around me acting like nothing is wrong.

I am working to build a community in our town around this but am struggling to find people my own age. Most people who are collapse aware are the sorts of people Isabelle talks about being in their 50s and trying to change their lives.

We are growing food at home, slowing down, learning to make things more with our hands. We'd love more space but can't see a path to getting that without moving away from everyone we know.

None of this is easy.
