After spending a few years being a solo freelancer and then going back to a j-o-b, my wife has commented that I seem more content, happier.

I chalked it up to the stress relief that consistent paychecks can provide, but perhaps I am anxiety-disordered.

Others have mentioned similar traits: being a leader or mentor, doing thing on your own, tackling new projects...y'all have turned on a lightbulb for sure.

agreed - it is hard.
