If i were to paint my never-ending musings about work, expect a color mix of black, white, grey, brown, green, and a smear of yellow and red. It won’t be a pretty abstract.
Confounded by certain issues and in my self-imposed mission to figure things out, I tried asking my good friend Mish for some sound, noteworthy advice. Far exceeding my expectations, she helped me realize that:

Should i leave my job now, if not, when?
Am i really happy?
Am i still growing?
What do i really want to do?
When will I get promoted?
So many questions in my mind.
