The fact that my work has constantly occupied my live has recently brought me a problem to focus on: how to balance the time which I spend on work and on those who I love. I consider myself as a workaholic who always prioritizes my responsibility of work to my private life. For example, I will reply the text message from my work as soon as possible but I only answer the message from my friends and family when I have free time, which mostly happens in the midnight before I sleep. I am willing to spend my days-off to go to the office and work overtime but I am too lazy to do outdoor activities with my friends. To finish the project of my work before the deadline, I keep postponing the dates with my boyfriend for many times, and I even take it for granted because I take work duty more serious than my private life. However, not until my friends started to leave me away did I realize that I did a big mistake. Olivia, who has been my best friend for eight years, stopped connecting me since one time I forget to reply her message for three days. She even unfriended me from facebook and Instagram and even refuse to receive her birthday card from me. While I am still so confused why can’t she understand how busy I am, my boyfriend broke-up with me because he has fallen in love with a girl who is willing to spend more time to talk and get together with him, and only my family are still with me. Although I am still trying how to repair all the relationships that I have messed up, I know it’s still too late to recover the pain which I have caused. What I have learned from this lesson is that, I should always remember what matters the most in my life, not just keep focusing on the mission which I have to finish in time. There is no such thing as work-life balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances my life.
