I've found another reason, besides the global recession, why I feel discouraged to find a new 'career.'

I've noticed this trend of people becoming their work. Where every part of your life, your online and offline identity revolves around your job. You no longer just work - you're 'living a passion', and 'growing a brand'. It feels like the human being behind the job disappears. As if, in order to be successful, you need to commodify every aspect of your life.

Idk is this relatable in any way?

@Gina oh totally relatable. Years ago that very thing, becoming the job, drove a wedge between myself and several friends. In some cases away from entire communities because everyone was constantly trying to sell me on their life/job as what I needed for my own life/job.
