Comrades, that time again! How have things been going for you? Anything cool you wanna talk about? Things not so great? This is your space to talk about it! Remember, you are loved
Up and down for me. Tour was a complete dud, we're never working with the booking agent again, and my ex let me know she'll be moving out in the middle of December. I'm glad they'll get to spend some time with their parents, they've been talking about moving back for years, but I just wish it was under better circumstances. Not sure what I'm gonna do yet. On the bright side, love life seems to be on an upswing again. The person who got us hotel rooms on tour came over to hang out last night. We had a few drinks with the corgi, and then TRIED to watch that killer sloth movie, but we both fell asleep on the couch for like 2 hours together. THey also baked me a loaf of chocolate pumpkin bread to say welcome home, which was super sweet.
It feels very joever. Still no luck on the job search ~4 months in, and this freelance thing isn't looking as promising as it used to. I just really need to catch a break on this.
Meanwhile, my mom keeps telling me that I can't always take the "path of least resistance" and that I need to reach my full potential and all that. I keep trying to tell her that my first priority is being able to support myself independently and she says that's fine, but appends this note about how sooner or later I'll have to figure out how I want to live my life and grow and change. My mother in Christ I don't have a job right now!!!
I'm just going through the motions of life and it feels hopeless. Idk what I'm gonna do if I can't find work by the time unemployment runs out. Could probably get a retail/food service job but that would crush my will to live even more 🤡
I was working at a nonprofit in a coordinator level role which I enjoyed, but pretty open to anything I can stand. That was my first job so I haven't really specialized yet
