Retirement
fromSilicon Canals
1 day agoI retired two years ago and the part nobody warned me about isn't the boredom or the loss of purpose. It's that the friendships I thought were mine actually belonged to the job, and the job took them when it left. - Silicon Canals

2 days agoThe person who always offers to drive, always picks the restaurant, always plans the trip is rarely the controlling one in the group. They're the one who learned early that if they didn't organize the connection, the connection simply wouldn't happen. - Silicon Canals

Retirement fulfillment stems from ongoing pursuits and curiosity, not just financial security or traditional metrics of success.

I was not getting enough sleep. I was not eating full meals. And I was putting more stress on myself than was even necessary. I felt like if I continued to treat my body this way, there would be some repercussions.

6 days agoAfter a disappointing college experience, I was determined to make postgrad life better. Now I'm thriving.
Social anxiety and depression had other plans, leaving me in an ugly cycle of self-isolation and rumination. Terrified of rejection, I'd meet someone interesting during one of my English lectures and invite them out for frozen yogurt in my head.
