Anna is screaming for help in her instastories, I suppose her mental health is so bad she’s not even trying to hide it or just no longer can’t. Ikigai - is a well known concept and a book about how to balance life and work and make your job a source of happiness and passion. Alongside her intention to go to any kind of retreat - a health one, and a creative/entrepreneurship one - because she’s burnt out and exhausted. I see this as a reason of her changing her career path as well, not because she’s grown out of her courses, but because she psychologically can’t lie to people and herself anymore, faking her idols’ lifestyle - it’s an exhausting activity
even I’m now sorry for Anna, because if she had any money she could retire and rest and live comfortably until she would be interested and motivated to do anything again
it really is a sad thing to look at: a completely burnt out prematurely aged homeless woman, who worked (scammed) so much that she’s completely cut off from modern reality (fashion, style, makeup, culture, social and political issues, doesn’t see herself from aside, how bad she looks)
but I assume specifically her LOA admiration has done the cruelest thing to her: she thought fake it till you make it was a reliable concept but it’s nothing but inability to face your real life and accept it, suppressing your true emotions which is really bad for anybody
wealth - is an arguable dream to build your life around. If you’re struggling with certain psychological things the wealth itself wont make you happy, just as the glimpse of it (which she saw after selling 1st SOTEW) didn’t make Aija happy
it could provide an ability to stop, rest, get professional help, travel - but having money and things itself won’t heal any kind of depression, you just won’t feel content but frustrated - which has also a really bad impact on anyone’s psyche
so now she’s left with nothing I kinda pity her, she has no clue how to help herself and few retreats won’t change anything either
