1.27.25: Work and Me

I have a strange relationship with work. I enjoy being productive, love the rush of efficiency, and take genuine satisfaction in crossing tasks off my list. But if money weren’t an issue? I wouldn’t work for a company or chase a salary. I’d probably set up a non-profit, read more, play video games, travel—the usual dream list of goals. The thing is, I don’t really care about work itself. I take pride in doing a good job and delivering solid results, but at the end of the day, it feels fundamentally meaningless. It’s a means to an end, nothing more.
