I’m definitely grateful for what I chose occupationally and it’s better to have “existential” problems than “real” problems like not have enough money for food or housing.

I do regret my marital choice though. The biggest hardship I came across in my life was my divorce and although obviously I wish it didn’t happen, there was some value in the failure and perspective change from it.

I think the people who rise from true hardship and then become successful are the happiest people I know.

I spent so much of my youth and early adult life studying and training for my career I feel like I missed out on all the fun experiences and adventures that “normal” people have. I’m so desensitized to living alone and entertaining myself. This contributed to my divorce.

I fortunately have a great career and plenty of money and great friends and family but I frequently feel very lonely and feel that I have a different set of problems than the average person.
