Something is wrong with me, I thought.

I had moved to the city of my dreams. I was earning well. I had good work conditions, great colleagues. I did not enjoy my work but I thought I could just do it without feeling anything and move on with my life after work.

But I could not. I was very sad at work and after work. I felt empty. I was afraid to continue living in this meaningless state for another 35 years until retirement.

While I felt that way, I could not find much consolation from my family and friends. Friends did not understand. Some were very career-driven and they wanted me to choose my next action and move with it. "Be STRONG". Other friends told me just to relax, work did not matter anyway. My family on the other hand was puzzled, they could not believe I was complaining while I should be celebrating - I had achieved a state I could have never dreamt of.

I thought to myself - something must be wrong with me.

Did you ever feel the same way?

If yes, this episode is for you.
