Hello All!
I'm having some thoughts and change of heart and I'm not sure if it's a sign of mental growth, or a sign of mental anguish.
As a result of the current lockdown I have competely begun to rethink and change my outlook on life.
Prior to lockdown I was caught up in the hustle of life, working, saving, acquiring. Now that I've been forced to slow down, remove most of the "extras" in my life, I have a different view. I'm able to catch up on a lot of the reading I've been wanting to do, enjoying movies with my wife. Dining at home and enjoying what I have, not looking for the next conquest.
Add to this a very toxic job and horrible boss and it has me thinking very minimalist.
Has the goal line been moved? Is this a natural progression of maturity with age? Is this pandemic brain sinking in?
I woke up in the middle of the night last night at 3am with my brain crunching every financial scenario where I quit my job, get off the wheel, and do something different with my life. My job has been infinitely more stressful than in years past. We started a database migration just prior to Covid and the powers at be have the mentality that you can't go anywhere, kill yourself getting it done. What else do you have to do?
I apologize for the rant, but have so many thoughts running through my head and am really reevaluating life itself and what I hope to get out of it.
Stay safe everyone, and cheers!
