Retiring from being self-employed is weird. Yes, I did it because my (physical) heart was struggling so hard I was regularly stumbling from dizziness and getting nightmares about dying, but I am now swimming in this kind of identity limbo. Business kabuki is no longer rewarded (if it ever was) and whoever I was before I started being groomed to “fit in” by neurotypical society is gleefully shouting at me to just have fun. But what is fun? I have no idea.

@graymattergrcltd@infosec.exchange I hear you. I’ve been struggling for the last few years with retirement. When I worked I had clear goals to achieve. Now not so much. Btw happy retirement! I do like the hours. 😁

@graymattergrcltd@infosec.exchange Maybe fun is tending to bonsai trees, and give one a day away to random people.
