this article really stab me right here...
and I'm still bleeding profusely.
imagine for every year I'm paid 50% less, make that a 10 year multiply.

No one to blame except for myself.
add that with a 'no pay-raise no bonus' year ... I'm depressed. fullstop.

'calm in chaos' patch

The unhealthy me have always wanted to have a patch of nature in which I can bask in the sun and do some 'grounding'. 
Basking in the sun is good for Vitamin D (since I stay indoor most of the time)
Grounding @ earthing is for bringing our body back to a balanced state with negative ion from earth when we make direct contact with earth / soil / grass or even concrete. This is especially beneficial when we are 'connected' with modern technology most of the time. (try googling if you would like to know more)

So, the other day, the 'kepochi' part of me prompted me to go 'walk & walk' during lunch to discover something new.
And I was ecstatic when I stumbled upon a 'patch' ... sort of like a little hanging garden.
I sneaked in, look for a spot which I think least probability of being found,
took of my shoes, sat down, breath and relaxed. (though I couldn't get my mind off what excuse to give if I'm being caught)
I'm ready to even beg to be allowed to enjoy this little 'heaven'.

So there I was for about 20 minutes, enjoying just being me ... relaxing ... breathing ... and writing my bucket list, feeling blessed.
