Burnout Story #1: The Post-College Glow
Back in December I posted a review for one an Audible Original, a short interview-style listen called “The Burnout Generation”. Aside from being an interesting listen, this short had me reflecting on the various points in my life I’ve hit burnout, particularly post-college and as an adult.
So I’d like to follow up on some of those ideas and tell my first burnout story: the year or so after I finished undergrad.
Haiku Sunday – Hug
“Hug”
Mighty little arms
cling, squeeze, while feet kick in joy —
giggle eruption!
