You know that feeling when you finally get what you always wanted—the business humming, kids all grown and out, the house quiet—and then it’s just… quiet? It’s not a big deal, really, but sometimes I sit here, 2 AM, and it’s like I built this whole beautiful empty room. All these years, just WORK WORK WORK, and now my kids call for advice, not just to talk. My husband says, "Go make friends!" and I just laugh. Who would I even have coffee with? The only other business owners I know are too busy trying to do what I already did. It's funny, right? Like, the prize is just... more quiet. What a stupid thing to confess.
