I give myself a 10-minute break every once in a while. I just realized that absolutely no one will ever come up to me and say: hey, you deserve a 10-minute break, chill out, breathe, light exercises, do whatever makes you relax. So I have to do that myself.

I give myself an hour or an hour and a half on weekdays to take a break from the office setting. I just realized that ‘the office’ is very demanding and the payment will never be equal to what I do for them. And after some thinking process and also the hormone fluctuation, I realized that the office is supposed to do that, the office will never be a comfortable place;  the politics, the intricacies, the dynamic and the toxic colleagues, along with the imbecile bosses will always be there.  An office is just a temporary place, we work for this unbelievably rich person, and S/he will pay us monthly. That’s it. If I have enough to support my life and pay the bills, I think it’s better if I resign asap from this hostile environment.

As long as I cannot support myself and my family with any other income, then I’ll be stuck here. And while I’m stuck I’ll do as much pause/ break as possible. I want to stay sane after I finish my time here, this is just a phase in Life.

It’s up to me now how to go through day by day. Disappointment will always come as well as the joy and good times; c’est la vie.

Cheers, take a break often my dearest readers,

Karin Sabrina
