Is this a midlife crisis, or am I just getting older and wiser?

A reflection on quitting what I think I should be doing, and start doing what I want to be doing.

For years I’ve been telling myself I want to spend more time doing the things that bring me joy. And yet, time and again, I let the requests and questions in my email inbox dictate my day. I hear a little voice whisper in my head: “You should be grateful to have such a fun job! Do you even realise how many people would love to do the work you do?”
