Here goes:
I sometimes wonder if I'll ever have a job/career in which I do not dread Sunday evenings/hate Monday mornings. I almost feel like no matter how much I like my job, I'll never "love" one enough to look forward to going to work. Don't get me wrong, I am not lazy and have no problem *working*...but it's the not getting much out of it, tedious nature, lack of autonomy aspect that gets to me sometimes. Maybe I should look into starting my own business at some point...but I know that has its negatives as well.
I feel like there are not enough hours in the day, and the older I get...the more apparent this seems. Endless cycle...work, work out, make dinner, try to spend some time with the hubster, go to bed, wake up and do it all over again. Weekends are more relaxed, of course...but even then, it seems like you barely have time to breathe before Monday is breathing down your neck again.
I (for some odd reason) give more of a shit about what I look like *now* than I did when I was single and actively trying to attract other men. My husband thinks I'm hot shit, but I don't always feel that way. I see other hot guys, and it makes me feel like I need to "step my game up". It's just so odd that I worry so much about this now, when it used to not be a big deal to me at all.
The older I get, the more apparent it is that I am nowhere near as intelligent as what people made me think I was growing up.
I have no real talent, no real life "goals", and I sometimes feel like I'm just floating along doing what adults do because...adulthood.
As I have started to experience more deaths in my family, friends, and acquaintances...I'm starting to think about my own mortality and health more. I'm deathly afraid of what kind of illnesses and horrible things could happen to myself and my loved ones at some point in time. It's a very distressing feeling...
Being an adult is sometimes stressful as fuck (for a number of different reasons). I love it, but it is extremely challenging at times...and I have moments where I just really miss being a kid. My grandmother always told me not to "rush" away my childhood. I get it now.
wow...I forgot how therapeutic it can be to write in this thread.
*take a breath*
