I have a lot of stress factors in my life at the moment, not least a late career pivot to become a teacher. At least I feel on most days that I'm doing something useful, though I don't really know what I'm doing yet. The kids can be a real pain but also funny and sweet, and while the pay is middling, it's stable.
My daughter makes me happy everytime I see her, she is extremely bright, funny and kindhearted. I worry about the future our generation will have left her with: rampant capitalism, global warming and a continous deterioration of democracy, the rule of law and basic human decency.
Reading (books, TLS and NYRB) watching French films and TV series and running helps me relax a bit.
Thank you, nous, lj and pb.
