Money is decent no doubt but I get so stressed up, weight gain and high blood pressure due to irregular sleep and diet.

I get ping non stop at odd hours.

In such a depressing life, why should I even be having lunch with those who caused my misery and anxiety?

Why am I even here in this industry?

Because who else would want to date me into my 30s and the moment men sees me as a lawyer, they get turned off. Plus I am not no longer in my prime in terms of looks. Work is all I have to show off and earn my living.

Would I have done anything differently?
Yes, I should have been kinder to others in my early days. Words spread and bad things spread about me even faster than speed of light and stay even longer about how much a bitch I am.
