I'm really conflicted on what I should pursue for my career, especially since it would dictate so much of how I live my life.
- One part of me wants to choose a slower paced lifestyle (simple living). It would be nice to be able to enjoy the work I do, to have a low-stress life. Maybe if more on the "extreme" side, I'd go live off-grid or something along those lines.
- On the other hand, I also feel like I should hustle while I'm younger. Go for a career that perhaps I might not enjoy, but be able to retire earlier. I could still try to live simply, and maybe I'd be able to travel too.
- Then there's still a tiny part of me what tells to me go all out. To chase the dream career (even though the likelihood of succeeding is virtually nonexistent). If I fail, this will set me back for many years, and I'll resent myself for wasting my time, but I feel like I would also regret not trying. This definitely wouldn't be simple living.

Also, any tips on simplifying social media? I deleted all of my accounts a while ago, but realized recently that it's necessary to have it for many jobs and opportunities. It's a place to network, make friends and connections. How should I regulate myself getting back into it?
(ex: If I want to write a book, it's good make friends with writers and you can help each other, reach out to publishers/get noticed if you have a following, network and chat with people around the world.)
