Returning to work after a holiday can feel overwhelming. Long work hours can quickly erase any sense of relaxation. Managing financial pressures is a constant challenge. Focusing on future plans can help cope with present difficulties. Humour can be a valuable tool in dealing with life's struggles.
The present is a nightmare. I tell you what's good? The future. The perfect, perfect future where all great things happen.
