Read a stay at home friends Facebook post with her recent watercolor sketch and burst into tears. When will I get off the hamster wheel? Anyone else feel that burning sense that all that you did at work was a waste of time snd has no meaning beyond the moment?

If she is SAH, she has her own hamster wheel. If she has kids— that wheel also has kids on it probably running in the opposite direction. The grass ain’t greener. If you are younger, it will feel like a slog for a while, but building financial security and independence will give you freedom to cultivate all kinds of hobbies and interests.

But if you are feeling like you don’t have enough time to explore more creative outlets, take some baby steps to carve out that time. You are doing great— don’t let anyone else’s watercolor make you think otherwise.

Hang in there OP!!! ❤️❤️❤️ had a check in with my mentor and he told me 5 years from now big 4 work will be meaningful. You matter. What you are learning today matters. What you learn tomorrow matters as well. You are important. You are intelligent. Your big break will come! 👏🏽👏🏽 also, he said working at the big 4 at a junior level is kind of like an mba on steroids. I promise.

:( sorry to hear! It may be best to get off social media if you're not at the happiest spot right now with your life. But there's a lot to look forward to. I just led a client call this morning and had my coach advocate for my promotion. You're building a career! Any one day won't seem like much, it takes a while to build something. I've braided and baked the most exquisite looking challah thus pandemic and then thought to myself : 1) that was fun, and also 2) hmm, so what, its just bread. Same goes for that painting. Same with our work.

I think its fair game to explore what is right WLB but don't beat yourself up over someone else's art project from FB...

Has anyone else had a really hard time online dating with Covid? I’m aware things are getting better but I prefer to do outdoor first dates to be on the safe side. No judgement to anyone that does differently. It’s just what I feel comfortable with. I’ve had a few guys tell me they won’t do outdoor dates for some reason… some have cited weather but others legit say no (in 70 weather) because it’s a hassle & “Covid is a joke.” Please tell me if this is normal.
