Balance My dream is enjoying the life. I'm a web designer who have worked for 8 years. I'm a hard woker. Nomally I work overtime until midnight most of weekday. I've lived this life style. Someday I realized i would waste my life.. I want to make balance of life and work. And I really want to spend the time with happiness. The happiness is in my mind that after work to meet my friends, to play the guitar, to exersice in a park, to draw some pictures. But it's impossible if I work overtime most of everyday. Sometimes I'm sick, sometimes I just want to rest without work. But I should work like a robot. I'm not a person who hate work. I love design, love visual art. They makes my heart fluttering. I just want to make my working time by myself. How can I make balance of life and work? How can I change my life :o

My dream is to enjoy life. I'm a web designer who has worked for 8 years. I'm a hard worker and normally I work overtime until midnight most weekdays. I lived this lifestyle. One day I realized I was wastinge my life.. I want to make a balance of life and work. And I really want to spend the time with happiness. Happiness is that after work, meeting friends, playing the guitar, exercising in the park or drawing some pictures. But it's impossible if I work overtime so much. Sometimes I'm sick and sometimes I just want to rest without work but I must work like a robot. I'm not a person who hates work. I love design and visual art. They make my heart flutter. I just want to make my working time by myself. How can I strike a balance of life and work? How can I change my life :o

Suggestions:

Instead of "who has worked for 8 years," I would say "and I've worked for 8 years."

For the sentences in gray, I'm not sure if I understand what you want to say.

Comment 1: You could say something like, "I'm done living this lifestyle. I realize this lifestyle will waste my life." or "I've lived this lifestyle for 8 years [or a different period of time]. Now I realize it will waste my life."

Comment 2: You could say, "I just want to make time for myself."
