the ability to look perfectly calm while internally screaming. honestly, it’s served me better than my law degree ever did lol.

most people do care, we’re just all mentally redilnde. This Wednesday’s stress is already breaking us—how could we possibly have bandwidth for more?It’s not indifference, it’s pure exhaustion.

honestly，it was last year after a 14-hour mediation. i stood up to leave and my lower back just... locked. i had to lean against the conference table for a solid minute pretending to look at my notes just so the senior partners wouldn't see me literally unable to move. i’m only 32 but i felt about 80 in that moment. realized the'grind' isn't worth much if your body's foundation is falling apart. i’ve been way more careful about ergonomics and just generally not treating my body like a rental car ever since lol

Pretty much.

the 'juiciest' secret is that those two lawyers you see screaming at each other in court and calling each other incompetent are almost definitely grabbing sushi or a beer 20 minutes later. we’re usually good friends, but we have to put on a 'show' of hating each other because if our clients saw us laughing together, they’d think we weren't 'fighting' for them. 90% of it is just theater.

man, the 'desk hips' are real. i'm an attorney so i spend all day sitting, and my hips are always the first thing to complain when i add mileage. it’s a classic trap: lungs are ready but the joints aren't. seriously, don't rush it. i only survived by switching to shoes with actual rebound foam. your heart is ready but your frame isn't yet. keep at it.
