....so I stopped posting on here for a while. I couldn't break my focus from all the things I had to do and that was my way of keeping myself going. But I need a break and I miss the days when I could simply escape into a book. Now everytime I pick one up all I think about are either current or past problems. I miss the days when my life was more of a blank slate. Can anyone relate...?

I find it helps to engage in activities that require problem solving, such as putting together jigsaw puzzles or playing Scrabble.

The thing is my life has turned into a giant jigsaw puzzle. Lol. I'm constantly working to solve problems that make up the larger picture. My job used to lead me to constantly 2nd guess people's intentions and analyze why I was being targeted or question if I was being targeted. Now I stopped caring about it. I just reached the point where I accepted the fact I will never win in an environment that does not value integrity, hard work, and honesty. Now I'm focused on solving new problems. Small and large and the whole situation is overwhelming really.
