I wanted to address why it’s taken me so long to post on here. And the honest truth is:
I’m sooo busy with work that I don’t have time to do a thing for myself. I was telling this to my nail lady, the guy who cuts my hair, and the other girls in my workout class. Everyone feels terrible for me.
They wish they had more time to hear about it, but they have another appointment, or have to run and see a friend. All things I no longer have any time to do.
I am sooo busy that whatever free time I do have, I spend talking about how busy I am.
After a long day of work yesterday, I was absolutely exhausted. I flopped onto the couch, and an hour later, my roommate got home from the office. “How was your day?” she asked. “Busy” I responded. No one understands what I’m going through.
My mom steps away from whatever she’s doing when I call now, because she knows I only have a minute. But that minute slowly becomes two, and then three, and then ten because all I want to talk about is how much I have to do.
“I have to drive your sister to school” she tells me, or “I was in the middle of booking a flight when you called.”
This is drowned out by my wailing.
“I have no TIME. I work all DAY. How am I supposed to see my FRIENDS.”
It’s very difficult to be the first person in the world struggling to find a work/life balance.
