Just pulled out my first grey strand of hair. Mortality is a weird thing. I love reading about the cosmos too, and can’t shake off the feeling that we are nothing more than just dust in the wind. There’s nothing after this. On the flip side, this reminds me to always live the best of my life. Happy Monday, y’all!

I feel that..not even 24 and my gray hairs are starting to come out in force.

I started going grey in my early 20s (genetic predisposition). Wasn't so much a question of mortality as it was a question of getting my roots done every 3-4 weeks. Which definitely adds up over the years.

As for mortality: so what if there is nothing after this? There was nothing before we emerged from our mothers' wombs either, and we were ok with that.
Hope you'll find this sentiment uplifting :-)

Easier for me to believe in an afterlife. I can’t imagine there being nothing after this, just doesn’t make sense to me

D1, you are part of Deloitte's legacy, so in a way, you are already immortal!
LOL

I believe in the Buddhist philosophy that there are many lives and death is just the start of next life. We carry all of our vices (lust, anger, greed etc.) and virtues with us to the next life. The purpose of this continuous rebirth cycle is to get rid of all of your vices and achieve Nirvana. That’s how you escape the life and death cycle and your soul is fully purified.

From your head or elsewhere? Weirdly my head has like no grey but keep finding them in nostril, nipple, taint… anyone else like this?

I’ve seen a couple posts lately with comments saying that people should not use a Roth 401k. Does the logic below capture the spirit of that concept?
1. Use trad. 401k to reduce taxable income now. Convert to trad. IRA once retired, then convert gradually to Roth IRA (ladder, SEPP, etc.) at lowest marginal tax rate
2. Use Roth IRA (and/or backdoor Roth) to take advantage of tax free growth and ability to withdraw principal early without penalty

On June 21, I had an interview with two managers to become an HR Coordinator. Everything went smoothly, and I got good feedback, so I moved on to the management round of interviews. The recruiter initially stated that I would go through two rounds; however, between June 22-June 23, there were really five rounds, and I am still awaiting the scheduling of one more interview, even though it is now July. I'm becoming frustrated at this point. I’m still actively interviewing with other companies.

I’m starting to see my bf as emotional baggage and feeling very claustrophobic. He’s intimidated by my job, he can’t stand to listen to me talk about work even for 5 min; he’s started doing this thing being very insistent with pda and the harder he pushes … the more I just say “no.” I’m not a prop/toy/trophy/side piece/cheerleader/emotional anchor/house maid…. For free. I don’t mind pda. But I don’t like someone mackin’ all over me when it’s disingenuous and has nothing really to do with me.
