I admit, I have kind of settled into a very slow paced life. I no longer have to wake up super early to get things done and slog at work for up to 14 hours and miss out a chunk of Pebbles' life. But at the same time, I am missing the creativity outlet that I can only obtain at work tremendously. So what do I do? If I were to list down the Pros and cons of the matter in hand, going back to work will win hands down. I mean what can trump a steady flow of income every month? But is it worth it?
The past 11 months since I quit my job, I had attended courses to acquire a new skill which is translation however I have yet to yield any substantial results from it. I am partly to be blamed as I don't dedicate myself in carving something great out of it. I feel like a 'Jack of all Trades and Master of None' Oh dear, what a dilemma?! And 24 hours is just not enough!
I feel turning 35 is a huge deal. It's a major milestone. Half of 70. I am married to a wonderful man and I have a loving child so why do I still feel empty? I read somewhere that work gives a sense of achievement and joy and I refuse to believe that a home maker is not a job. Honestly, I have learned how to strategize effectively when I became a SAHM as compared to the years I spent at work.
It is funny how the WFTM envy the SAHM and vice versa. There are pros and cons in everything I guess but honestly, I think WAHMs have the best package. They work from home to earn some extra cash and make use of their skills so that fulfils the sense of achievement and they can watch they kids grow which gives them joy.
So yeah, I really need to focus on becoming an effective freelancer to avoid having to entertaining such conflicting thoughts.
Here's to having a more meaningful life.
my sentiments, exactly!
