Hi people,

I was thinking about how my work completely consumes my life. I shifted to a new city for work(which means away from friends/family), I spend hrs even after work if I get stuck at some code, I think about my updates/tasks as I wake up. I admit, It brings me great satisfaction. Only time I dont think about it is when I am watching YT(switch off my brain)- which does not bring me contentment. I am 3.5 yr into corporate life, is this how its always going to be? Is life missin somthin?
