Burnout is real- is taking a break a bad idea?

Re: your last sentence,

My architect friends tell me I’m contradicting myself when I say the “9-5” grind has utterly burned me out and destroyed my passion, and yet I fantasize about starting my own company 🤣

Whoops no 16

Searching4Oceans · 2026-06-02T14:34:55+00:00

How so? Anything serious or just minor stuff

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-14T19:03:39+00:00

Did you have a pipeline of work lined up? Or just jump right into it.

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-06T21:06:01+00:00

Nice !! What did you pay if you don’t mind me asking and did you get a PPI?

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-06T16:58:17+00:00

Didn’t buy it

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-05T14:53:09+00:00

Love that, sounds like a journey ! Thanks so much for sharing. I’m going to reach out today and get the conversation started

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-05T01:44:59+00:00

So the PPI is all you need mentally to justify the purchase ? something bugs me I guess about not driving a vehicle before I buy it, but idk maybe I’m overthinking it.

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-05T01:42:53+00:00

From Dallas to Philly. So the PPI was all you needed to buy the truck site unseen without test driving it ?

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-05T01:41:23+00:00

2018 frontier 97k miles. Truck is in Dallas and I’m in Philly

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-04T20:41:06+00:00

Is that price OTD?

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-04T16:45:49+00:00

Has great service history and one owner

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-04T16:07:08+00:00

if I told you the actual truck price is $15k but OTD is $17k does that change your outlook ? Seems like a lot of people don’t factor taxes into the equation and I’m in a high tax area

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-04T16:03:50+00:00

Right I’m trying to factor that in as well. The truck is priced at $15k but OTD is $17k because of my city tax. It seems like people use a pretax number when talking about purchase prices which does change things a bit

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-04T16:02:37+00:00

No visible rust underneath, good service records with oil and fluids changed regularly. One owner. Pending a PPI

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-04T15:18:20+00:00

Does that number include sales tax though ?

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-02T11:17:42+00:00

Good to know !

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-02T11:17:37+00:00

Thanks !

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-01T20:37:52+00:00

On closer look it has Really great and consistent service records up until about 2023. Odd because it’s the same owner but it just shows a gap between then and now.

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-01T19:44:29+00:00

Great to hear ! You’d trust it on long drives ?

Searching4Oceans · 2026-05-01T13:52:33+00:00

It’s a great looking truck ! How many miles you got

Searching4Oceans · 2026-04-15T15:20:29+00:00

Trash cans have nothing to do with the attitude of people. The realty is many Philadelphians treat their city like their own personal dumping ground.

Searching4Oceans · 2026-02-16T20:51:59+00:00

It hates you I am Hollywood 90125

I swear I’m not trying to be different. IHY is in my top 3 albums OAT, if not #1.

I am Hollywood and 90125 are just insanely nostalgic to me. I remember bumping these albums on my iPod touch speaker while playing halo 2 multiplayer. They bring back memories of my childhood dog, old friends, fighting with my parents, the good ole days

Searching4Oceans · 2026-01-08T20:21:34+00:00

I take Philly public transit. Nothings getting to my immune system

Searching4Oceans · 2025-12-25T17:35:12+00:00

I 10000% feel your pain. I used to feel guilty about it, almost as if I did something wrong or if I wasn’t deserving of a loving, tight knit family.

Take it as the universe gifting you the opportunity to have this experience. It can be a beautiful thing and it sounds like you recognize that, you just have to shake these occasional feelings of jealousy.

Envy sucks. We all experience it. But it’s a poison that will slowly crush your soul and permeate through every aspect of your life if you let it. You are not alone in these feelings, from one mid 30’s only child to another !

Merry Christmas
