This is a little bit of a complicated topic, at least for me, but I thought I would just touch on it. One of the things that, when I first retired, I really struggled with was, I wanted to know, like, what's the end? Like, just fast forward through all this transitional stuff, and what's the last thing? Like, what's the end of the story going to look like for me? And, you know, I should have known that that's not how it works. Like, you have to go through all of the steps to get there. And I really wasn't at all ready for what the solution for me was going to look like. If someone would have said to me in my first month of retirement, you're going to get to a place where you can just sit and literally just space out for a half hour, and you're going to love it. I would have said, that's insane. That's not who I am. I'm never going to. Just sit, for starters. I'm certainly not going to go into some kind of weird fugue state you're describing, and just idly, like, just let my mind wander for an extended period, because I wasn't ready to hear that. I had so many steps yet to get through before I could hear that. And if you ever feel like, that wouldn't be a problem for me, or I could never do that, consider. That you just aren't ready to hear that yet. And that there's a lot of steps you have to go through before you can get there.
