Mine is work and life balance. At least in this stage of my life, I prefer work and life balance. That’s why I’ve accepted a lenient schedule, I leave early when it’s acceptable to, I know that my hard work ultimately is accounting for nothing except to make people who’re not me richer than I’ll ever be.

So it’s like I don’t even see the point in working hard when I know a lot of the time, things will continue to be more or less the same, day in and day out. My position could change if I had a different life and in a different field of work where it would matter. But as it is, I prefer being home more and doing things at my leisure. Especially when I don’t have the commitment of children and currently, a relationship although being in one would kind of be nice though I don’t think there’s anyone out there who’d accept someone into this lifestyle.

But being at home more opens doors for me to pursue anything I want and indulge hobbies whereas if I was continuously doing hard work all of the time, I won’t have even an hour towards them as it would’ve been spent sleeping it away.

What about you?

    Taking seven medications a day so I don’t have to struggle to not think about suicide or worse. Best I can do.

      Sorry to hear that. I’m not going to pretend to be a mental health expert because I’m not. But have you ever considered a change of scenery? Like if you live in a city move to a rural area. more personal space, more quietness? Spend more time outdoors? Focus on hobbies or find a hobby. Fishing is my personal getaway.

      What about travel? I’m not talking about a big vacation or traveling cross country, but just going for a drive with a friend somewhere down roads you haven’t been, backroads, gravel, etc. once or twice a week
