From Stressful Calls to Peaceful Beach Reads: My Future Self 📚
So, I took WFH today and honestly, it’s been a very long time since I got this kind of free time. It just feels like I’ve been completely occupied lately 😮💨 I newly became a product owner and man, it’s overwhelming. I aspire to be a CEO or C-suite executive someday, but looking at things right now, I can already see how the higher you go in your career, the lonelier it becomes.
Yes, you have family and friends, but here’s the thing – your situation becomes so unique that they can never truly understand what you’re going through. It becomes almost impossible to even explain it to them 💭
The Struggle of Learning on the Fly 📈
Right now, I’m in this weird situation where the old product owner left the company, and the product manager above me isn’t great at explaining roles and responsibilities. This makes everything incredibly difficult and overwhelming because I’m spending so much time and energy just trying to understand the job itself 😓
I used to genuinely love Mondays, love the work weeks, love the working days. But not anymore. I recently came across this statement – I think it was in an X-Men movie – where they said you’re always scared of something you don’t know. That hit me hard because that’s exactly what I’m going through. Until I figure this out, it’s going to feel scary, and I’m putting everything I have into this 🎬
The Anxiety is Real 😰
I get genuinely anxious when my product manager schedules calls with me. He doesn’t seem to understand anything I say, and when I tell him not to do something, he basically forces me to do it anyway. I think the problem isn’t just with me – it’s with everyone around me. This whole situation has become this challenge that fills me with anxiousness and fear about my professional life.
But you know what I really want? I just want to take my bike and go on a long drive. No expectations, nothing. Just me. I need to plan this sometime soon because I desperately need some me time. I think I need to touch base with who I am – maybe that’s going to help me rejuvenate a little. It’s just very difficult right now, and I need to chill 🏍️
My Dream Escape 🏖️
I have a plan brewing. I’m thinking of going on a long bike ride to some very peaceful place. I love nature and greenery, but honestly, I think I’m more of a beach person. I dream of just me with lots of books around, reading them every day, maybe getting into some creative field like painting. That sounds so relaxing, right? ✨
Sometimes it feels like this corporate field just isn’t for me anymore. Don’t get me wrong – I’d like to have a lot of money, but I don’t like constant calls. I don’t want people calling me every now and then. I like being myself, staying calm, doing whatever I want when I want to do it. I even love cooking, but only when I’m in a peaceful state with no timelines breathing down my neck 🍳
I’m the kind of person who likes to focus on one thing at a time and deliver it perfectly. That’s the field I want to explore – one with no distractions, complete focus, and the freedom to create something meaningful.
The Villa by the Beach 🏡
Here’s my real dream: a house or villa right by the beachside where it’s just me, surrounded by books, maybe a computer or laptop, and AI integrated throughout the home – something like Tony Stark’s setup in Iron Man. When thoughts pop into my head, I just say them out loud, and they automatically get stored somewhere I can access anytime in the future 🤖
I want to practice painting, meditation, and dive into any sort of technology advancement or innovation without being bound to any particular sector. Today I might feel like working on IoT, tomorrow it could be software development, and sometimes I might just want to paint. This is the kind of life I want to lead, and yes, it requires serious money 💰
The Freedom I Crave ✨
Think about that life – how amazing would it be? I’d be responsible for my own growth without worrying about some manager or writing updates just to get a hike or get what I deserve. No strings attached. I can do whatever I want, innovate however I see fit.
Maybe I should structure it like three months a year in complete creative freedom, and the other nine months connected to the busy world – that much time would suffice to stay grounded while still pursuing my dreams 📅
Making It Reality 🌟
I think about this every single day, and it would be an amazing world for me. I know I’d be doing my best work in this setup. Imagine waking up in the morning to that incredible beach view, so pleasant and serene. At night, sitting by the beach, reading a book, maybe writing a poem under the stars – wow, what a life! 🌙
This is how my life will be, and it should be, and I’m going to strive for exactly this. I aspire to achieve this by the time I’m nearing 40. I’m going to work for myself and make this world a better place to live. This isn’t just a dream – it’s a promise to myself, a challenge to myself 🌊
Sometimes when work gets overwhelming and the corporate ladder feels more like a trap than progress, we need to remember what we’re really working toward. That beach house isn’t just an escape – it’s the destination where creativity meets freedom, where innovation happens naturally, and where we can finally be the architects of our own lives ✨
