Everytime I want to complain about this field/ my job, I try changing my perspective. What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the universe for. What a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about. What a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. What a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.

How do you handle it feeling burnt out or just the stresses of day to day life?

I didn’t want to wind up in this industry. I never begged or dreamed. I did settle, though; that part is accurate. And if I’ve grown, I’ve long since outgrown this job. When I feel burnt out, I look at the stack of bills on my desk and feel a cold relief that some of them will be paid this month.
