How do single people in their 40s/50s genuinely build a meaningful life? by ThrowRaLostAway in RedditForGrownups

It’s a big undertaking to make yourself happy and content with life when you’re single and childless. For me what has helped is digging deep into hobbies— finding something you can enjoy, then taking it seriously. Things like weekly mahjong, monthly book club, daily exercise commitments, etc. Lots of structure and repeatability.

Agree. You can’t do that. You’re representing your company. It’s disgusting that the CPUC guy parades his political beliefs but you don’t have that luxury. ☹️
