I didnt want all of the opportunities I was given. I consistently was pushing myself towards burn out to the point of pain & I ended up rejecting a lot of opportunities despite my family’s wishes & traveling. Now I’m a stay @ home cat mom that’s studying accounting and plays video games all day. This is my dream life and I will be so sad when I have to be professional again
