When your job looks fine—but doesn’t feel right

You’ve done the right things.
Your job is stable.
You’re doing well.

And yet—something feels off.

Is this just modern-day overstimulation?
Too many feeds, too many lives to compare yours to?
Or is it deeper?

Maybe it’s the jobs that drain without breaking us.
The way screens have become our window during working hours—
instead of real faces, real conversations.

Didn’t we all grow up thinking work would be… more?
Fast-paced. Full of dialogue.
With time for jokes, side conversations, long lunches.

It wasn’t about falling in love with a spreadsheet.
But somehow—now it is.

So when your job feels flat, uninspired, disconnected—
is that a personal failure?
Or are we stuck in an outdated version of “success”?

Should work be fun—
or are we just spoiled without even knowing it?
