I am 'on vacation' for a couple of weeks between the end of the museling's camp session and the beginning of the school year after Labor Day, and of course that means that I have no time to rest, relax, or do anything for myself. I remember when vacations were times that I got to devour a book a day and not do much of anything. Not anymore!

I have no answers, clearly, about how to find / make time, only all the good thoughts imaginable for you being able to make it happen, even a fraction, over these next couple of weeks ♥

But yes, balance is not my forte! I tend to bounce between being super social and being a hermit, instead of finding the merry between.

I absolutely think about what other lives I could have led. I can't imagine not doing so. I chose to date and later marry mr. muse. I chose not to get my Ph.D. after my Master's, despite the strong encouragement of the faculty that I continue. I chose not only to have a child but to adopt one, which means he automatically has special needs. All of those decisions were very deliberate ones, but I do think about what life would have been like if I'd made different ones. I don't regret the choices I've made at the end of the day, but I do dream of other mes I might have been. I'd have missed out on other things, but I'd have gained, too.

But if someone magically finds the perfect balance, or a time-turner or cloning machine that would give me a good 48 hours in every day (okay, some days it would be really nice to have 72 hours, to be honest), I would be first in line for that.

It's kind of ridiculous! I feel like I was promised as a kid that as an adult I'd get to be the captain of my own ship, but what I didn't realize was that that ship would have a ton of passengers I'd have to take care of and make sure didn't fall overboard. :D
Good luck with the lack of drowning and so forth! I hope you manage a little bit of quiet relaxation for yourself as well. Hey, miracles can happen!

(I had this tab open for ages to see what other people would say. Time to close it, so I thought I'd chime in.)
