Jasmine, a hard act to follow:)
I think we all have to experience life, ie. get out there and fail and come to our own conclusions as to where we belong. Our niche changes during our life too. I’m 56 and still struggling with self-awareness so don’t expect to have all the answers soon.Sounds like I am in a similar field to you. My advice is “yes help people but always keep some humour about it and maintain detachment for the sake of your own mental health” (pretty much what Jasmine said). My conclusion is, that there is no ideal job out there, just a handful of options that may suit us at a certain point in our lives. Try to meet your trials and tribulations with patience and kindness to yourself. That is something I am still learning myself.
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
