Surviving is a strong motivation. I've developed a motivation for thriving, mostly through much-needed therapeutic interventions and over time. I recommend Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, which was a very meaningful book that helped form my reason for feeling, if not hope, then some kind of trust that a moment can be well-lived even if it's in a hellish situation.

surviving is hella strong when survival is threatened but beyond that, it no longer provides much drive.

There are some fundamental things. Knowing/leaning what’s truly important to you. Late in life it’s understanding what brings you joy - that’s when you realize how unimportant “stuff” is. I can’t offer guidance in a FB post though.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
