The midlife fog usually sneaks up on all of us. You're moving through life when suddenly you realize you've been checking boxes instead of truly choosing your path. Those passionate interests from your twenties get buried under work deadlines, family needs, and the feeling that time is moving faster than ever. I noticed this pattern in my own life, even though I had made a good career change, had family counting on me, and owned plenty of tech books I used to love reading. But remember, this phase doesn't mean something's wrong with you. You're just readjusting. Your mind is simply asking if you're still focusing on what's truly important. Something that's worked for me is creating small personal victories each week. Not work achievements, but personal ones. Learn something new just because it interests you. Reach out to a friend you haven't spoken with in a while. Go for a walk without any podcasts or distractions. These small choices remind you that you're still in control of your life, even when things feel uncertain. Stay strong. This isn't a failure. It's just a moment when everything shifts.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #anecdotal #justtonostr

Tonight's movie is Havoc, on netflix. 30 minutes into the movie, It still has not given me that hook to watch. I am banking my time on Tom Hardy! #AMovieADay
Ever opened LinkedIn and felt like you’re watching two different movies on the same screen? Just the other day, I saw one CEO talking about “the beauty of simple living” right next to a post about “optimising operations” - which, by the way, meant 200 employees were suddenly jobless. I nearly choked on my filter coffee when I saw the same person, who just cut holiday bonuses, posting about their “inner peace” from a yoga retreat in Bali. Don’t get me wrong - I’m all for wellbeing and mental health. But when these gyaan sessions come from folks who’ve earned massive bonuses by trimming down teams and cutting benefits, it feels… how to say… slightly off? It’s like we’re being told to “work harder, stay humble” - by people posting from their third vacation home. “Don’t run behind money,” they say - from a five-star resort in the Maldives. Is it just me who’s confused, or are others also seeing the irony? LinkedIn is Cringe Pro Max!! Would love to hear your thoughts. #JustSaying #LinkedInScenes #CorporateLife #RealityCheck
