I had a friend at work who would come to my office at lunch time and remind me to stop working and have lunch. I’d be stuck on a problem and want to keep working on it, and he’d insist that I stop. He say that if I took some time away, I’d come back with the solution, and he was usually right.
He would also stop by my office at the end of the day to remind me to go home. I worked with him almost 20 years.
He retired in November of 2023 and passed away in June of 2024. I still miss him.
That’s really sweet
The older I get, damn near everything, lol
That life isn’t a fairy tale. Some live the “ideal life” and a lot of others don’t. I’m one of the don’t and need to be reminded that it’s not abnormal, things don’t just work out for everyone.
Being happy all the time is not a realistic goal. Being content is.
My meds.
Memory meds.
That when I step away from being online/social media/horror show that is the rest of the world, I live in a great place, have a good life, can touch grass and that that reality is more truthful than anything online.

I am in fact supposed to be working more than 8 hours/day.

Life doesn’t last forever.

Sounds like you should try writing in a journal so your past self can explain what the hell went wrong!
I’ve been writing a journal since 2004. they’re online, so I can search them etc.
Oddest one. That I’m supposed to have sex.
