Great post Micah. Right now my source of happiness is my work and I am not sure how I feel about that. I love when you said 'I do enough life to have the work I want'. That quote will be stuck in my head for a long time.
I think my work is my escape from life right now. I have always struggled with balance. I try to do it all, be it all to everyone and that's just not possible. I think if I want true happiness, I have to accept the fact that like you said, I can balance my time and that's about it. My days will always be out of wack somehow and I have to realize that's okay.

more of your time. There is a thing in the US where we are supposed to
work really hard and long, but when we do it, we must be unhappy
because we arent enjoying life. As if "life" has been defined equally
for all.
There are a couple of things that are inherently hypocritical in our
society.
1) its ok to discriminate against fat people and smokers.
2) that when someone prefers work, its ok to look down on them as
someone who doesnt enjoy life; and when someone enjoys life (A friend
told me of a friend of hers that quit his high paying job to be a
waiter so he could mountain bike more) we think they have no goals or
drive.
Just be happy that someone is happy. No idea why that is so hard.
