I never ask people where they work, I always ask what they enjoy. It’s so easy to get lost in labeling ourselves with our jobs or what position we’re in right now, that we forget to have an identity.

Even though I love what I do, I come to hate talking about it. It can be so exhausting and the fact that I feel like what I do defines me has become a point of frustration. Loved this post!

This goes beyond the topic of “what do you do” as a career, but how oftentimes people care more about status as an identity as opposed to the actual individual. I’m bookmarking the TED talk for later.

Adding an extra element to such a question definitely is the perfect conversation starter. You not only make a new friend but you also find out find out little things about them you would have never thought to ask. Great post xx ❤️

I think we can all relate to the struggle of answering the “what do you do?” question. xx Merisa | Monogrammed Magnolias
