I just went on an international vacation and had such a hard time coming back to a nearly brand new role. My job is better that ever but I can help but feel like I'm not following my passions 🙁

Careful. Would you be feeling the same way had you not just returned from vacation? My interests are reading and I want to get into painting, but at this time (25 yrs old) im not willing to give up the financial security that allows me to live comfortably in New York. I therefore push myself at work to ensure that I can leave the office by six to go home and paint or go to cafe or bar and read. Work/life balance doesn't have to be a zero-sum game
