Processing the death of your parents and how that changes a person. And/or watching your parents cognitive abilities decline.
I wasn’t raised in a loving caring home. So it was incredibly alien to care for my parents as they got older. Helping them get dressed, taking them to appointments. Having tough conversations with them about their end-of-life wishes.
Not a topping but mustard as a dipping sauce for my pizza crust. I’m not a crust person. But dipping dry crunchy crust into mustard almost feels like eating a pretzel.
Tastes great with pepperoni too.
I worked retail all my life. I was so embarrassed. I swore that once I get “a real job” (read: Corporate) I would love it and it would be so much more respected.
Been working Corporate for 20yrs now and I hate it. Soul sucking, dream crushing, energy draining. At least with retail I’d get a little discount. Now all I get is an occasional pizza party 😭😭😭

You can still browse and your comments still remain up. But you can no longer post or comment further. I’ll still get upvotes / replies to old comments. I just can’t respond
the thing about having your soul-sucked is that you can bounce back and recover. and let me tell ya, it’s a whole lot easier to recover with money than without. The second part of your response seems to come with a little baggage. Maybe you should follow the money to afford a therapist? LOL
I agree with what you’re saying. You gotta work even when you don’t feel like it. Being passionate makes it easier to work (in some cases).
Serious - Don’t follow your passion. I did. Went to school for something I was passionate about. Did well and graduated. I got a job in my field. But soon enough, my passion felt like work. My priorities shifted as I aged and I grew to hate what I studied and once fell passionate about.
Find a career path that makes you money. Once you have that money you can make time to dabble in your passion projects and hobbies. Just wanted to add a different perspective to the meme :)
