I get this philosophy, but it also misunderstands what a vacation is. Vacations are great. You should take a break from things periodically regardless of what your normal life looks like. It's healthy.

Agree. I like my work, but it's good to take a relaxing break from it. I run marathons on purpose, but I still enjoy chilling for a few weeks after until I start training again. Same with work. It's fulfilling, but no matter what you need some off-time

Came here to say that. I don't work and live in a popular vacation spot, but I didn't realize how much was stuck in my daily routine until I went elsewhere for a "vacation".

I'm with you. I enjoy my job, it's fulfilling though I can imagine better.

But it's hard, and sometimes you just need a break to come back fresh and ready to go.
