It is (or so we believe it is), because work provides us the ability to indulge in life’s pleasures, big and little: the Heretic candle<\/a> I burn, the essential oil blends<\/a> I roll onto pulse points, the quad-shot dirty chai latte I rely on every morning. Yet when I list the things I think I love\u2014the throughline is glaring at me as I type\u2014these are things I’m forced into believing I need because I’m in want of balance. Do those things work?\u00a0Sure.<\/em> Are they beautiful to have? Of course. But before me is the grating truth: I live to work. Everything else is a band-aid to cope with the disproportionate focus on some larger entity instead of myself.<\/p>\n

I don’t have an answer (yet), but I’m in search of some solution, some journey towards balance. Here I am in beautiful, sunny L.A.: what do I have to lose?<\/p>\n
