Dear Greenshade/ Maria:

“I am struggling right now at work…  When I think of things that excite me -> travel/exploring, music, learning something new When I think of things that bring me peace -> nature, trees, quietness, solitude When I think of things that bring me fulfilment -> service, learning and talking about mental health things

“When I think of things that exhaust me -> work place politics, having to defend my ideas/work from credit hogs, routines imposed from the outside, being assigned tasks rather than choosing to take them on, other people’s dysregulated nervous systems–

– How about taking on a traveling non-routine, minimally political job outside of your home country and outside the whole region. You shared before that it is important for you to help your country and make it a better place, but that’s a very ambitious goal. Also, you said that your parents would be okay if you left the country.. so why not, why not live and work for yourself, for your own well-being..?
