I know exactly how you feel. Before starting a family, even when it was just my husband and I, sacrificing my space and alone time was huge for me. After having children, I had to completely give up video games lol and I do still miss them today, to an extent 😟 But like you said, life is about making sacrifices, it's important to for the right people.
Today, like you, the challenge is writing and posting 😩 It's been a process of learning to find balance. For me, the biggest factor has been learning not to force or expect anything. I no longer try to schedule things, I just play it by ear, and if opportunity presents itself I immediately seize. Granted, I'm in a position where I'm blessed to have that approach, I know not everyone can afford to go with the flow...
Anyway thank you for sharing! 🙏 It's good to hear from you, I wish you luck with all your situations!
Yeah there are definitely plenty of times where we go with the flow and let things come naturally. I think I've somehow managed that with scheduling the posts so my thoughts are genuine and not forced and entertaining. For example I was in NO mood to write tonight for various reasons but I am hoping to wake up in a better mood tomorrow and get something done. We shall see!
Ah yes video games was a big one for me as well. I played them religiously for 20 years just about. I gave them up when my wife called me out for being a shitty husband and playing them more than helping her and it was a huge wake up call. I had a bit of a relapse to be honest but about 5 years ago I gave them up entirely and haven't looked back. Occasionally I will play an old school game but nothing at all like I was doing it before. It wasn't worth the loss of my wife and son that's for damn sure!
I'm no saint, I make mistakes constantly but I sure as shit try to fix them and do better the next day.
