Professional work and achieving intended goals often take up the majority of life. However, this does not mean that we should devote ourselves to our career. Maintaining the right proportions between private and professional life will allow us to achieve real satisfaction. As it turns out, the pursuit of money is often much stronger than the balance that is home, family, friends or rest and going on vacation. One of our readers painfully learns this every day.
I am 33 years old and I feel like I live for work. I have no girlfriends, I don’t go out with friends, and when I come home from the office, I eat and go to bed.
– writes Mrs. Elwira.
“I even started Tinder, but I quickly felt like I wasn’t cut out for that world”
I see that the world is going through a real revolution. People, situations, needs and expectations are also changing. I am standing still. As a child, when I still believed in God, I prayed for a good husband, a house full of children and two cats. Today I feel that I will never achieve what I dreamed of. I do not have high expectations from the world. Basically, I will take everything I can get, but this reflection came only after I realized that the moment has come when it may be extremely difficult for me to find a partner. I even started Tinder, but I quickly felt that I was not cut out for it. I do not know how to flirt, and when my colleagues from work want to take me out for a beer or to a club, I refuse them and explain that my family is coming to visit me or I am thinking of an emergency dentist. It is simply more convenient for me.
“Living alone really isn’t easy”
It makes me sad when I see my friends start families, have children, travel and pursue their careers, and all I have left is the last thing. Work, work and more work. I live for work and that’s the truth. When I come back from work, I go to bed because I have to get up for work in the morning. My life is a vegetative state, but I know that I brought this fate upon myself. Although life in a big city has many possibilities, it simply overwhelms me. Am I worse? I take care of myself, I have a good education, I rent an apartment in a nice district and I earn well. I can successfully go on a trip abroad once every few months, but I don’t do it because I can’t imagine flying somewhere alone. My friends have husbands and partners, so I don’t want to get in their way. Living alone really isn’t easy, especially during the holidays. When everyone is traveling, I lie in bed or clean the apartment.
I would like to change my life, but I don’t know how to do it. I feel helpless and I really don’t want to complain, because that’s not what it’s all about. How do I get out of my comfort zone and reach out to people?
Elvira.
