In the past year, so many more people have ben quitting their jobs and for good reason. Most everyone has been underpaid and overworked with no work/life balance. You are lucky if you have a job that treats your right and pays you what you are worth. Those types of jobs are very few and far between.
I was one of those people who was struglging with my career and that is because I didn't do what I actually wanted to do from the moment I graduated college. I have a fashion design degree and I always wanted to have my own business ever since I was young. Since I moved out right after college, I wanted to get a part time job and work on content creation (YouTube was massive back then) which I eventually wanted to turn into a full time job. Well that never happened, I was never consistent enough to actualy build a community. I didn't realize how demanding was working retail. I also started to get promoted and bills started to pile up so I knew I had to find a full time job. Working full time in retail is a lot! It's tough on your mind and your body and it is draining! I ended up working retail for 10 years and doing some sort of content creation on the side and started a business with my sister in 2020.
My last retail job was not the greatest experience and the company I worked for was not what it seemed. I was making decent money but I was pretty much bullied into quitting. Now I am trying to make it as a small business owner and also content creator and hoping that my dream will soon turn into a full time income. The point of this Daily A is to say that, it is ok to quit a job that you have no passion for and where you are not being paid enough and not being treated fairly. Follow your dreams even if they seem unatainable. You have to try it for yourself otherwise you will always think back and wonder what if.
We made it to the New Year! It’s a fresh new beginning… then why does it feel exactly the same? If you didn’t have any party plans last night then you probably spent it in your home doing normal things, as I did. I had the TV on, watched a couple of shows, had a couple of drinks with my boyfriend and made some food. Then in the middle of Wednesday, episode 3, the clocked turned to midnight and the New Year was upon us. We paused the show, wished each other a happy new year, watched some fireworks that were being launched outside our home and then went back to watching the show! It felt exactly the same but at the same time it felt like a reset button was pressed. Today I woke up to new hope and looking forward to the future. Since New Year’s Day is a Sunday, I didn’t do much of anything. Had my regular coffee, breakfast and then had to pick up some medicine from the pharmacy for my boyfriends mom. Then we dropped her off back home to rest and we did a little shopping of our own
