Hi Calm Moon,
Thank you for sharing your journey so openly. I just wanted to say that leaving an unhealthy work environment takes a lot of courage, especially when money and future plans are also on your mind.
What stood out to me is that you kept returning to your original intention: a healthier job, clearer boundaries, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are. That is not laziness at all. It sounds like you have been rebuilding with a lot of self-awareness.
I also really resonated with the idea of allowing yourself to be human instead of trying to be strong all the time. Sometimes progress is not about having everything figured out quickly, but about learning to choose peace, rest, and healthier environments step by step.
Wishing you continued clarity, fair recognition at work, and a path that supports both your practical needs and your inner peace.
