Are you happy with the person you’ve become?
At work I’m confident, charismatic, respected and ambitious. At home, bored, miserable, constantly craving for something more.

@DHggmu I'm aware that it must come from me. Maybe it'll come from some sort of crisis. I don't know but I've struggled to find any passion that would turn into a meaningful career, source of income and a higher purpose in life. Something to feel proud of that would generate an overall feeling of satisfaction in life.

@CrazyMusicLover I understand that. I didn’t find a meaningful career until two years ago, and now it seems like the only positive in my life. But that isn’t all that defines you, you can be proud of the person you are regardless of your work life. In todays world that’s more valuable than people realise.

@TurtlePink Oh we all have regrets. It’s better to learn from our mistakes and do what we can to not repeat them.

@pripyatamusementpark I’m an advocate for self improvement, for some reason it’s a lot easier at work than it is at home.

Deep down....yes.
Im not saying my life went like it should + I've lost so much..... twice over.
I got damaged, my family broken, my future....ugh, thrown to the wind .
Im nowhere near where i thought i would be at this age.
But i do like who i am. Somehow i came out of it with my soul entact.
So yes....for where it counts to me - i am mostly happy.
Im the opposite of you : at work - i dont fit in. But that's ok, im absolutely sure i wouldn't want to.
At home im at peace. Content.

@OogieBoogie I get that. I’m happy with the person that I am, but not my overall life. I want more, but I’m still very grateful for what I do have.
But I’m glad you are happy in yourself after all you’ve been through, there’s a strength in that.
I wonder if I’d prefer the opposite, to be happy at home and not at work. I take what I can get, but it doesn’t seem right.

@Lilliesandlight How come?

@Lilliesandlight it might surprise you how many others have little to no social circle, but I understand it can be hard to deal with. As can our jobs, sometimes it can feel like we just live to work. Why do you feel like you’ve failed as a parent?
