Anyone else wonder if you should be doing something more meaningful? I don't think what we do is corrupt I just am like what lives am I changing really? Don't plan on having kids so the family first thing isn't really an answer that will work for me. But feel free to send it over anyway if that's what works for you.

I’m with ya on the kids front. I like what I do enough and my job provides enough pay and flexibility for the lifestyle I want (lots of travel and experiences) so for me that’s enough - for now at least.

Yes! I think about this. Now that I’m more on track in my career I’ve begun to volunteer for causes that I believe in. I tie my volunteer work to something finance related and it feels like I haven’t been working for nothing which is nice

I think about volunteering or doing work for nonprofit orgs when I am able to. I used to teach little kids during the weekends when I was less busy. I would want to pick that back up when time permits or volunteer at events to give back to the community

Same on the kids, but honestly if you are enjoying life otherwise don’t worry about it. If you want to give back, do some volunteer or something!

I am starting to question what I am actually meant to do for work. I feel like I want to find something that gives me more meaning. Sad enough - I realize that money is not as motivating as it used to be for me

My partner of over 1 year dropped a comment that made me feel very uneasy. He said that he loves everything about me but wishes I was a bit more socially active. I love being on my own, reading, watching series, FaceTiming friends and family abroad. I moved to London 2 years ago and because of the pandemic it has been hard to establish solid relationships here. Am I being too much for feeling hurt and insecure suddenly about this or is my partner a bit of a dick for making that comment.

I give massive kudos to all the parents out there juggling work and home life. But it’s starting to feel like I pulled the short stick by not having a kid. Really struggling to pick up all of the slack from all of the colleagues that do have kids and feel like the expectation is that parents should turn off while the rest are working from 7am - 2am everyday to make up for it.

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.
