Do I Need a Job With a Purpose, or Just a Paycheck?

Have you ever realized your career hang-ups might not even be yours? My mom, the ultimate do-gooder therapist, always asks if my next job aligns with my values. But honestly, I’m not sure I even know what my values are anymore—especially after years in education admin, feeling like a suit in a sea of other suits. She wants me to find meaning, but maybe I just want a job that pays well and doesn’t make me miserable. Is it so wrong to want comfort over purpose? As long as I’m not working for some evil empire, maybe that’s enough. Or am I just burnt out and confused? I wish I could tell where her voice ends and mine begins. Anyone else feel like they’re living someone else’s dream? 🤔💼 #CareerConfusion #JobSearch #FamilyExpectations #JobCareer

When Family Guilt Trips Become the Main Event 🎭

You ever feel like you’re starring in a drama you didn’t audition for? That’s been my life lately. My brother and I just tied the knot, started a new job, and—surprise!—we’re expecting. Meanwhile, his sister had her fourth baby three hours away. We genuinely wanted to visit, but life’s been a whirlwind. I checked in with her after the birth, thinking we were good. Suddenly, her other sister sends me a text so sharp it could cut glass, accusing us of neglect. Apparently, our reasons are just “excuses.” Is it really so wrong to need a breather before jumping into another family obligation? Or am I missing something? Sometimes, it feels like no matter what you do, someone’s always keeping score. Would love to hear your take. 🫠 #familydrama #emotionalconflict #relationshipadvice #familyexpectations #RomanticRelationships
