A few months ago, I left my job.
And it’s made me realize how much of our identity can become tied to what we do.
I mean, I knew it was a part of it. I was afraid of how I would answer it. But I still don’t have a good answer.
Somehow “retired” doesn’t feel right. And I understand this is an aspiration for many , but it’s just not feeling right for me at this moment in time. At the same time, I’m not ready to do something else… Something else in addition to all the other things that I’m currently doing that is, lol.
So I’m thinking maybe we just need a rebrand on this question? Wouldn’t it just be so nice if people could ask something more general, like “tell me about yourself”??
Do you agree?
