Heyaaa!
Are you an alcoholic workaholic?
I sometimes feel I am. Not something to be proud of. It’s just that I don’t know what to do during a break.
Now, I don’t do client work 24/7.
But I do something. I need something to do. I can’t sit idle. I get restless.
Sometimes, I have bouts of addiction to Reels and Shorts. I also binge on Netflix, Prime and others. But it’s short-lived. Yes, I have a list of movies and TV series to watch. I don’t know when I will.
Before we move forward, let me introduce you to today’s newsletter sponsor.
Finny sends you free personal finance insights so you can make better money moves
When it comes down to learning good money habits, there's so much jargon out there. Finny's newsletter, The Gist, is different. Twice a week, you'll get simple 5-minute breakdowns of top money trends, personal finance, and investing tips delivered right to your inbox.
OK, back to my story…
I feel too addicted to work. I don’t know why.
It might be possible because I spend too much time in my room. Being left alone is dangerous. It’s highly addictive.
You learn to live peacefully with yourself. Finding too much time to do what you love. Writing, reading and writing again.
I don't like to venture out. I feel suffocated among strangers. I meet friends online. And that feels enough.
I don't like meeting hundreds of random strangers. Knowing them. Interacting with them. And then forgetting them by the end of the day.
I rarely step out. Probably 30 days a year.
There is a world out there. There is a world in here where I can read, can write, can sleep, can put on my headphones. Where I can live.
I can work on client projects. I can grow my book blog. I can maintain my peace.
That’s my version of having fun.
Why am I like this?
I don't know.
Someday, I'll gather my thoughts. Put my life together. And find out. That day, I'll let you know.
Till then…
Bidding adieu.
Live long and prosper.
See you next week, with another story.
