You’re 100% validated in feeling this way! I loved the 2 paychecks but the toll on my wellbeing and the benefit of having “down time” is exactly why I needed to let one job go. I struggle with knowing if I did the right thing sometimes but am much happier with time to focus on being fully present at my job then can log off without any remorse at the end of the day
