Was all the work worth the life I gave up for it?

You can build a model for anything, and yet the question that follows you is not about numbers at all. It is about the hours, and whether the life you traded for them was worth the trade. That you even ask it means you are still awake to your own life, which is a good sign, not a failing. The hours are spent; you cannot get them back, so measuring the past against some other life you did not live only torments you. The real question is forward. What do you want the next hours to buy? You have proven you can master hard things. That same focus can now go toward the parts of life you set aside. Do one small thing this week that the work would normally crowd out. Leave early for a dinner. Take the walk. Not as an escape, but as evidence to yourself that you can choose. The worth of a life is not settled by looking back. It is decided, a little at a time, by what you do next.
