This hit home a little too hard. Being your own boss is wildly overrated when your boss is also a tiny tyrant living in your head 24/7.

I really felt the guilt part too. Stepping away is somehow supposed to be “rest,” yet half the time it comes with a side of mental self-abuse. Ridiculous.

Also, that day out was clearly not wasted. The views were gorgeous, the pigeon was absolutely your emotional support coworker, and sometimes going outside is the productive thing.
