    For real, the most recent trips I’ve had it’s actually been harder to return to work afterwards because I’m fuming that the trip was too short. I’m housesitting in a completely different part of Melbourne for a couple more weeks so that’s been a nice change of scenery in itself but even when i start doing more relaxing things like walks, I find myself unable to drum up the energy and focus to work efficiently.

    There’s certainly an existential component to it all. You know, I could heal myself and recover my energy and become more balanced… just so I can be a well regulated worker bee? No thanks. I gotta find a different way to contribute without killing my soul over and over again

      Oh dear. That certainly sounds like burn out. I know what you mean - it just feels like we’re slaves to the system sometimes. Makes a world of a difference finding the right employer and management too I guess which is easier said than done. The world is filled with people who’s out to suck all the life out of employees. Hope there’s light at the end of the tunnel!
