Good for you for "leaning "back." There's a lot of talk today about how GenZ doesn't want to work as hard as older generations, but I truly think it's more a matter of age rather than generation. It's been my experience as a younger Boomer to see my own co-hort "step back" until their mid-40s or so, then members of GenX work themselves silly until they are the same age. Now it's Millennials (the oldest of which are hitting their mid-40s) doing the same.
If GenZ can figure out a better way to balance work/money and having a life, I hope -- so HOPE -- they can. Our culture has been too much of "I need to make a lot to be able to buy, this, that and the other" thing we truly don't need for FAR too long. (I know that wasn't why you worked so hard, but I think too many of us do for that reason.)
I hope your freelance work goes really well. I've been doing corporate/content writing for about 15 years now as a freelancer, so if there's anything I could help you with, ask away! (But I've a feeling you're doing just fine. ;-)
I assume you have enough money to "lose your busy self". I'd like to see a follow-up piece on losing yourself when one doesn't have ample money. Mary Sojourner
